Snakes can be so confusing some times. Oh well, you learn something new every day!

think of it from an animal hierarchy point of view.

a BP is....

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Pythonidae
Genus: Python



Rattlesnake is
Kingdom: Animalia
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Viperidae
Subfamily: Crotalinae

Snakes are confusing. But yeah that is a Rough Scaled Bush viper. But yeah Vipers are such a huge species. But they are split into two main groups of Pit vipers and Pitless vipers. But all rattlesnakes are Pit Vipers.

rough scaled viper maybe?


beautiful snakes

^^^^ this is a atheris squamiger not hispida.
to the original poster that is without a doubt Atheris Hispida, the rough scaled or hairy bush viper. and yes they are both old world pitless vipers (vipera)
