"... and very few people in the world have seen this snake," How do we know if they never survived their encounter?

He is purty. I will restrict my pleasure in looking at him to pictures only.

He’s a beauty! I wish my yard snakes were this lovely to look at! They do their job though.

Being a pit viper implies that it is venomous, but the article never even mentioned that. Is it venomous? How potent is its venom? I agree with other posters in that it is a stunningly beautiful snake.

I used to have two snakes. Very interesting animals, despite their lack of intelligence.
My ball python used to escape and hide for about 6 months at a time. We’d find him in all kinds of strange places. He hasn’t returned from his latest safari. Haven’t seen him in four years. I don’t think he’s coming back.
My boa was too big to hide, but when he would escape out the front door and slither down the street, it always caused a stir in the neighborhood.
He died of pneumonia about five years ago. I’m glad I don’t have to feed live rats to them anymore. That was heartbreaking.

So how come every time they find a snake or whatever with different colored eyes, or a spot somewhere that other snakes just like it except for that one thing we got a new species, but there is only one species to cover vikings, bushmen, and Mongolians, etc.

Scientists collected green pit vipers from ... Vietnam
So venomous we called them - "Oh Sh*t" snakes.
If you got bit by one you only had time to say, "Oh sh*t" ......... then died.

Legend has it after the bite you’re dead before you hit the ground .... Problem is, you walk around in a daze like coma for weeks in the jungle before that happens.

After reading this, I felt like reading some more about snakes in Vietnam. Here's a story I just read.
