Mangrove Pit Viper

The native mangrove pit viper in Thailand is a formidable snake species primarily inhabiting the mangrove swamps of southern Thailand. Renowned as one of the world's most venomous snakes, it stands out with its vibrant yellow and green coloration, which allows it to blend seamlessly into its natural environment. Possessing a highly territorial nature, this snake exhibits a quick and aggressive response when it feels threatened. Its venom is loaded with a potent neurotoxin capable of inflicting intense pain, paralysis, and even fatality in humans. Hence, it's imperative for anyone venturing into Thailand to be well-informed about the mangrove pit viper and exercise caution when navigating the swamps.
