Mangshan Pitviper
Protobothrops mangshanensis
The Mangshan pitviper is a large, egg-laying viper from the Mangshan region of southern China. Its green and brown mottled body blends with vegetation, and the tail tip is pale. It is maintained in specialist zoological and conservation collections. Housing needs secure retreats, supported climbing routes and carefully managed forest conditions. Its venom is medically significant and dangerous-animal permits can apply. Unlike many vipers, it lays eggs.
Colors: Wild Type
