Posted: 13 Nov 2003 Bothrops asper - terciopelo (sometimes called fer-de-lance) I'd like to get a side view of the head just to be absolutely sure, but I guess one can't have it all...

Posted: 13 Nov 2003 Yes, I would go with B.asper, a nice bright example, colours often more muted. B.atrox usually has a lighter coloured dorsal part of the head. Tony |

Posted: 14 Nov 2003 I would have said a Bothrops species but not having first hand practical knowledge of the various species of the genus and guessing that your survey is what people know and not what they can find in books or papers would not even try to put it to species David British Herpetological Society Librarian and member of B.H.S Conservation Committee.
