📷Animal photography Monday by @juliank: Snake Monday #6 Palestine Viper

Palestine Viper
The Palestine Viper is spread in the Middle East, Palestine, Israel and Jordan. It does not occur in Lebanon, as well as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip - the autonomous Palestinian territories. This types of snakes are pretty dangerous and you should be careful with them. In the bite, they release a large amount of hematotoxic poison, and without special treatment many of the bitten people or pets die. This is the most dangerous snake in the region. In Israel, high-quality anti-viper serums are produced which are well suited for bites of snakes, but in the rest of the area the situation is complicated.This snake is the largest and most southern variety of Malazan poisoners. They reach a length of about 1.6 meters. The Palestine viper feeds on small animals, most often rodents, and for this reason often enters the settlements. Up to 30 eggs are laid during July and August in a clutch.
