What They Eat?

Vipers have highly specialized diets. They eat insects, eggs, fish, birds, small mammals, amphibians, large invertebrates and other reptiles including snakes as well. Once they have caught a fresh prey, they wait until the venom they had injected into the body of the prey to take affect before consuming the creature. Another important fact about these snakes is that they are capable of making decisions on how much venom to inject depending on the situation. Because of their particular kind of venom, a viper’s bite is very painful experience for a human. Most of the time, a viper bite is considered as a serious injury and a threat to the victims’ life.

Viper Love

A male viper follows the female viper until she gives the chance to be with her. Mother viper gives the birth to many little ones. Most interesting thing about this snake is she keeps her eggs in her mouth and feed them until they grow.

Vipers have to hide from humans because the viper’s soft skin is very much valued and to get that they kill them. Because it is so smooth, people like to wear it or use them to make other things.
