Blue pit viper is the rare blue variety of the white-lipped island pit viper. The species is found in Indonesia and East Timor.
Look but don’t touch! This snake is not a creature you would want to mess with.
No matter how beautiful blue pit vipers appear, they are dangerously venomous. The island-dwelling snake is known to be an aggressive predator.
They have a ‘hemorrhagic’ venom, which can cause pain, swelling, necrosis of the flesh, and severe bleeding, both internally and externally. Once the venom has done its job, the reptiles use their fangs to grab their meal.
