Jerdon's pit viper (Protobothrops jerdonii) in Hubei, China
by cowyeow
(Protobothrops mangshanensis) Mangshan pit viper
Habitat found only in montane forests of southern Hunan Province, China; at 700-1,300 m elevation. Mainly reported from Mangshan, Nan Ling Mountains. Known natural geographic range is very limited.
Mainly nocturnal or crepuscular, & mainly terrestrial, but often rests (basks in sun) on low, slanted tree trunks or nearby rocks partly covered w/ vegetation, often up to 1-5 m above ground. Not usually aggressive, but may "spit" venom when threatened. Oviparous w/ 13-21 eggs/ clutch reported. Mainly eats available rodents, frogs & insects.
Venom Characteristics: Not much known, but probably has mainly hemotoxic factors & possibly cytotoxic factors. Captive specimens known to sometimes "spit" venom at an aggressor. This is the only non-cobra snake species known to do that. Historical reports of human fatalities due to envenomation by this species are not well documented, but any pitviper this large ( adults usually 1.0-1.5 m long (max. 1.7 m) ) could pose a significant risk to people. No specific antivenom is currently produced.
Awesome adult and baby mangshan vipers (Protobothrops mangshanensis).
