I'm wondering if this is the same viper
found in the Alps of northern Italy. I need to look on the computer. It looks like it could blend in very nicely with its surroundings. Thanks for sharing it with us.

	Voted 10/10	I believe several different species of this snake to be found world-wide. They share a common characteristic in part of their anatomy; a pit organ sensitive to infrared radiation. Nice photo, mehrdad!

	Voted 10/10	This viper is a Caucasian Pit Viper, Gloydius intermedius caucasicus. This species barrely enters European territory so it does not occur in Italy where other species of vipers such as Vipera aspis fransisciredi,Vipera berus and Vipera ursinii can be found. This species is an version of Copperhead and/or Cottonmouths with which it is closely related.
