H. viridis, also known as the emerald green pit viper, is a species of venomous snake found in Southeast Asia, specifically in Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Malaysia. They are a medium-sized snake that can grow up to 80 cm in length, with a slender body and highly venomous fangs.
Their distinctive bright green coloration allows them to blend in with the foliage of their forest habitats, making them difficult to spot. They are arboreal snakes, often found in trees or bushes near water sources. They are also known to be active during the day and at night.
The venom of H. viridis contains hemotoxins, which can cause tissue damage, bleeding, and kidney failure in humans if bitten. Despite their venomous nature, these snakes are not known to be aggressive towards humans and will often retreat if threatened.
They are considered to be an important component of their ecosystem, as they help to regulate populations of small mammals and insects. However, habitat destruction and poaching have threatened the population of H. viridis, making conservation efforts critical for their survival.
