事实

It is one of the few vipers that lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young.1

It is at risk from collection for the international pet trade and as a local delicacy.1

The genus name Ermia was named after the Chinese herpetologist Zhao Ermi, but it was already used for a genus of locusts, so it was replaced by Zhaoermia.1
