Netizens Stunned By Its Beauty & Wonder If It’s Venomous
Many enquired if it was real and if the snake is venomous. Well, Green Pit vipers are venomous. It bites it’s prey with its fangs and injects venom into the body. This stops the blood from clotting and results in internal bleeding. In India, it’s commonly found in the forests of Arunachal Pradesh. Many snake bite cases in Thailand are due to Green Pit vipers.
