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 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?

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!

There are probably downsides，but some animals are resistant to snake venom
[Drabeck wasn’t surprised by these mutations, but she was surprised when she compared the honey badger’s tweaks to those found in other mammals. These tweaks had evolved independently in at least four species: honey badgers, mongooses, hedgehogs, and pigs. The hedgehog—which loves to eat venomous snakes—wasn’t a surprise. But the pig? “We were pretty excited by that,” says Drabeck. She hadn’t expected pigs to have molecular defenses against venom; biologists knew wild pigs could survive snakebites but assumed that was because their thick skin and fat acts like armor against fangs. But wild pigs, like honey badgers, have long shared the same parts of the world as venomous snakes—giving them an incentive to evolve venom resistance. And that in turn has given the snakes an incentive to evolve more toxic venom.]

My family was stationed in Bangkok in the early sixties. Around our house we had Russell’s Vipers, Banded Kraits and Cobras.

That is a beautiful snake-but I will only admire it from a distance-preferably in a zoo...
