Spotted this stunning Green Pit Viper (Trimeresurus trigonocephalus) during a walk through the lush Kanneliya Rainforest in Sri Lanka. A true master of camouflage — vibrant, silent, and still.
This species is venomous, though not among Sri Lanka’s deadliest snakes. Its hemotoxic venom can cause swelling, tissue damage, and pain, but fatalities are rare with proper treatment.
It’s often overlooked, blending seamlessly into its surroundings — striking only when threatened. A beautiful reminder of how wild and raw nature can be.
