About "Great Lakes Bush Viper (Atheris nitschei)"

by Ronald Pol

About the artwork

The Great Lakes Bush Viper is a small, venomous snake belonging to the Viperidae family. It has distinctive keeled scales and vivid coloration, ranging from bright green to yellow-green, often adorned with dark patterns. This slender-bodied snake is perfectly adapted to an arboreal (tree-dwelling) lifestyle.

The Great Lakes Bush Viper is native to the montane and rainforest regions of Central and East Africa, including Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It typically inhabits altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 meters. While predominantly arboreal, it is sometimes found on the ground in dense undergrowth or shrubbery.

This viper is carnivorous, preying primarily on small vertebrates such as frogs, lizards, birds, and rodents. It is a nocturnal predator, relying on its potent venom to immobilize its prey before consuming it whole.

Generally reclusive, the Great Lakes Bush Viper avoids human contact, but can exhibit defensive aggression if threatened. This species plays a critical ecological role by controlling populations of small animals within its habitat. However, it faces threats from habitat destruction, which has led to a decline in some areas of its range. Despite its beauty and ecological importance, this snake remains relatively poorly studied, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to ensure its survival.
