Viper jet

Viper jet is poisonous snake species found in the savanna and grassland from Morocco and territories west of the kingdom in all parts of Africa except the desert and rainforest areas.
Viper jet is responsible for causing the death of most of snakebite in Africa due to various factors, such as distribution and Asahhumickrr occur in densely populated areas.
Viper jet is also known as blowing agents Snake, Snake African-blowing agents, blowing agents or Snake common.
The average size of the Viper jet is about 1 meter (39.3 inches) in total length (body + tail) and very courageous. Have been reported large samples of 190 cm total length, weighing more than 6.0 kg (£ 13,2) with a size of 40 cm (16 inches).
I found Viper jet samples in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not as big as, and usually no more than 80 cm in total length.
Males are usually larger than females and have a relatively long tails. The head has less than a triangular shape with a sharp snout and rounded, and the head is much wider than the neck. There are two types of canines on each upper jaw, both of which can be functional.
Color pattern varies geographically. The mismatch of his head yellowish white with scattered dark spots. Iris color ranges from gold to silver gray. Dorsally, the color of the abdomen varies from straw yellow to light brown, and reddish-brown or orange.
Viper jet is probably the snake more common and widespread in Africa. There is in most countries in Africa south of the Sahara south to the Cape of Good Hope, including the south of Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, southern Algeria, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan , Cameroon, Central African Republic, northern, eastern and southern DRC, South Africa. And also in the Arabian Peninsula, where it is found in southwest Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Viper jet found in all habitats except the real deserts, rain forests, and tropical alpine habitats. Often associated with rocky pastures.
Has not been found in the rainforest areas, such as along the coast of West Africa and Central Africa (ie the center of the Democratic Republic of the Congo), they are also absent from the Mediterranean coastal region of North Africa. In the Arabian Peninsula, found as far north as the Taif. That can be found in the southern region of Dhofar, Oman has been reported.
Viper jet mostly nocturnal, but they rarely are actively looking, preferring instead to ambush prey as it happens by. Prey includes mammals, birds, amphibians, lizards.
These species are responsible for more deaths than any other African snake. This is due to a combination of factors, including the distribution of widespread, common, large size, powerful toxin that is produced in large quantities, and long fangs.
Mortality rate depends largely on the severity of bites and some other factors. Deaths can be exceptional and may occur in less than 10% of all cases of untreated (usually in 2-4 days following complications from blood and deficit-sized intravascular coagulation publishin
