The overall appearance of this snake is often darkened or nearly obliterated by a coating of mud. The top of the head is blue or green at the edges but with a central black arrow. Color and pattern consist of saddles, bands, and other markings. Two to 3 pairs of upward directed, elongate (horn-like) scales are present on the tip of the snout. In its natural habitat of fallen, often wet, forest floor debris the almost gaudy colors of the Rhinoceros Viper, Bitis nascicornis, may render the snake nearly invisible Found primarily in the rainforest belt from West Africa to western East Africa, this magnificent, heavy bodied, 2 to 3 ½ foot long snake is both beautiful and dangerous. Note the very well developed rostral horns of the Rhinoceros Viper.
