Field Notes
Description:
This shy snake looks just like another branch in a mangrove tree where it usually coils motionless. It is more active at night. It feeds on lizards, frogs and other small animals, possibly small birds. Like other vipers, it has heat-sensing pits on its lips to detect its prey.
