Malayan pit viper

The Malayan Pit Viper is native to Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia. It tends to inhabit various environments such as coastal forests, bamboo thickets, abandoned farmland, orchards, plantations, and forested areas near plantations, where it preys on rats and mice. A bite from this snake can result in intense pain and localized swelling, although fatalities are relatively rare. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of antivenom and prompt treatment, some victims may require amputations as a result of envenomation.
