The eyelash viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is like the fashionista of the snake world, rocking its trademark “eyelashes,” which are actually tiny, spiky scales above its eyes.

Found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, this sassy serpent comes in a variety of colours—yellow, green, red, even pink—earning it the nickname “the living jewel.” But don’t let its beauty fool you; this little snake is a stealthy ambush predator, patiently waiting for frogs, birds, or rodents to wander too close.

It’s venomous, but prefers to mind its own business unless provoked. With its coiled charm and striking looks, the eyelash viper is nature’s perfect blend of style and survival.

The yellow version of the eyelash viper is affectionately nicknamed the “golden eyelash viper” and is one of the most iconic color morphs. Its vivid, sunshine-yellow hue helps it blend seamlessly among tropical flowers, such as heliconias, where it often waits to ambush prey.

This dazzling colour also inspired the legend that these snakes guard hidden treasure in the forest, adding a touch of mystery to their already captivating appearance!
