That pit viper has been known for awhile - it's not a new species.

They also "discovered" this snake in Vietnam last year.

The only thing new about this was that it had not been "discovered" in the himalayas.

im pretty sure i saw one of the ones from the fox link on kingsnake for sale a while back.

Well, the text does say it was discovered in 2002.

For some reason, it seems that new species don't come to the public front till years later.

yeah you have to prove that they really are a new species and not just an animals from the same specie with a different color....other wise we could have hundreds of ball python speices.

it takes more than exterior characters for scientist to make a new species. that was the problem with the GTP and so many other animals!! inverts are a mess!!
