Common Lacehead
Common lacehead, or bothrops atrox, is usually found in the tropical lowlands of northern South America. As a species of pit-viper, it’s easily agitated and is generally nocturnal. However it can hunt throughout the day as well as climb trees and swim. Needless to say, their venom is terribly lethal and fast acting. Even with treatment, almost all bites lead to temporary or sometimes permanent memory loss. Really makes me want to re-think my health insurance coverage options.
