Mascara.... Bothriechis schlegeli (Costa Rican Eyelash Palm Pit Viper)

@Avicularia1990 No , not at this size too small , He`s around 7 inches I would get tagged 100% .
The venom of these little beauties is mild , at this size it will make you feel like Hell for a few days.
As an Adult the worse it could do is if you were bitten on the top of you`re finger you may loose the tip of it to Necrosis. There is no Antivenom made for this species as it is not medically significant to produce.
I don`t condone the handling of any Venomous snakes unless it`s absolutely necessary that you have to do so.:)
 
@Mvtt70 Even though Mascara is yellow at the moment, he is actually the Red colour phase of the Eyelash family, the colour will change as he gets older. Like all Eyelashes they are born brown .
He already is showing some pinkish tinges on the belly , bit like Rhubarb pink.:)
