About the Bothrops monsignifer
Bothrops monsignifer is a species of snake in the family Viperidae. It is native to Peru and Bolivia. The specific epithet for the species is composed of the Latin words for mountain(mons) and fire (ignifer 'fire-carrying'), which together mean volcano, in reference to the place where the first specimen in Bolivia was photographed, Refugio Los Volcanes in Santa Cruz.
The species is found in Cordillera Oriental of the Central Andes from southern Peru to central Bolivia. It is restricted to montane forests with lower humidity and which lack large trees. Wikipedia →
