Wagler's pit viper has adapted to the rainforest by evolving a heat-sensing pit organ on its head to help detect prey in low light conditions. Its cryptic coloration blends with the forest floor, providing camouflage from predators. These snakes are also arboreal, spending much of their time in the trees to access prey and avoid ground-based threats.
Another name for a pit viper is a rattlesnake.
Wagler's pit vipers typically weigh between 0.5 to 2 kilograms, with females generally being larger and heavier than males.
Pit vipers can vary in weight depending on the species, but on average, they can weigh between 1 to 10 pounds. Some larger species like the Gaboon viper can weigh up to 20 pounds.
