The Malabar pit viper (Trimeresurus malabaricus) is a venomous snake species found in the Western Ghats of India. It's known for its striking coloration, which can range from green to yellow or brown, allowing it to blend into its forest habitat. This snake primarily preys on small vertebrates, using its venom to immobilize its prey. It's considered a relatively mild venomous snake, but bites can still cause pain, swelling, and local tissue damage. Medium: Watercolors Ref: @360pixual
