I'm not a big fan of snakes, certainly not poisonous ones, but this is absolutely the most beautiful snake I've ever seen - either in person or in photos. I suppose it is good that it is a viper since every snake lover would want one, and that could become problematic. I wonder if the skin has ever been made into a purse or shoes somewhere by some styling entrepreneur???! It would look fabulous with Turquoise and silver jewelry. Lol !! Seriously, that's a beautiful creature.
They are even more beautiful in real life...Lets hope their skin never makes it into the purse or shoes industry. It is a most cruel industry with no regard to life. If other animals were killed in the same manner as snakes are killed in that industry - there would be a world outcry. Somehow snakes don't get much human pity.
