Not even a snake fan, but I find this video quite impressive given the small number of sightings of this snake, also your channel deserves more subscriptions and views! Keep up the good work, you are awesome!

Fantastic great find and footage! Yes, that particular rare Bitis like many snakes evolve over millennia to take a peculiar color scheme nearly identical to their rocky (for instance granite specks) terrain probably via natural selection.

I didn't catch if you covered it, but are they venomous? OK, You just answered in the video.

[@jaimeortega4940]

Right and disconnected mountainous species can actually be considered individual species over time with differing habits, prey items and toxicity of venom.

[@matvangeo]

Indeed, isolated populations eventually become a separate species. Love how evolution works

Great job fab filming! I agree, might be called plain but there far from plain! 💯
