Long time rumor Carville is a hybrid. Resemblance is increasing as he gets older.

Is it poisonous or are all pit vipers poisonous?

I’m betting a Honey Badger could take care of it, new or not.

I’m surprised they can still use the term “sister species.”

Looks like a Mamushi, venomous pit viper found in Japan.

But bigger.

As long as it’s not referring to “ghettopotamuses”, it’s OK.

As long as we have Mitch McConnell, we don’t need another poisonous ambush predator, thanks.

Should we be concerned about the number of scientists that are baffled lately?

The redtail pit viper (Trimeresurus erythrurus) occurs along the northern coast of Myanmar and is invariably green with no markings on its body.

Well, of course.

How else would you be able to tell a redtail from any other green pit viper?

Most snakes are Venomous. I think with the exception of the garter snake wich is poisonous.

All, but with different levels of venom toxicity.

Rattlesnakes are one of the best-known groups of pit vipers.

Constrictors have no venom.

The majority of snake species (about 85 percent) do not produce venom.

Sorry. It will always be Burma to me. ;)

That is one gorgeous snake - and I’m right up there with Indiana Jones and my fear of snakes!
