The vibrant and captivating Eyelash pit viper, scientifically known as Bothriechis schlegelii, is a sight to behold. Found in various locations such as the Caribbean slope of Guatemala, Izabal, Guatemala, and Canande, Esmeraldas in Ecuador, this species never fails to leave onlookers mesmerized. With its distinctive yellow scales that make it stand out from other vipers in the Crotalinae subfamily of Viperidae family, the Eyelash pit viper truly commands attention. Its beauty is further enhanced by its long eyelashes that give it an alluring charm. In one snapshot captured in Costa Rica's lush forests, we witness this enchanting creature perched gracefully on a twig. With its tongue extended and flicking through the air, it delicately tastes its surroundings while waiting patiently for prey or potential mates. Another breathtaking moment reveals an Eyelash pit viper coiled around a Heliconia flower. The contrast between the vivid colors of both snake and flower creates an exquisite tableau of nature's artistry. Whether it be basking under the sun or camouflaging amidst foliage with its orange oropel form seen in Mindo Pichincha or Siquirres Limon in Costa Rica respectively; this serpent effortlessly blends into its environment while retaining an undeniable allure. Despite their venomous nature like many other vipers within their family tree - caution should always be exercised when encountering them - these serpents are undeniably fascinating creatures worth admiring from afar.
