A warm shout out to everyone here, would like to share some pictures from this side of the globe as my first post.

Leaf-nosed viper - Trimeresurus wiroti
This species occurs from Southern Thailand to Peninsular Malaysia.



The mountain pit-viper - Ovophis monticola convictus
Occurs in Peninsular Malaysia and over a wide part of northern Southeast Asia, but is considered rare within its range.



One of the Asian green pit-vipers - Trimeresurus fucatus (Langkawi form)
This specimen is from Langkawi Island and is similiar to some populations from Southern Thailand that may or may not have the bicolor postocular streak.



Cheers,
hans

Awesome pics. Welcome to Herp Center.

Welcome Hans!
Those are all beautiful snakes. Do you keep venomous snakes or is this a job? passion? hobby? (all of the above?)
Tell us more about yourself.

hi and welcome... love asain pit vipers...kept a few myself. Nice pics too...are they yours?

oh by the way I thought Trimeresurus fucatus was put in the genus Popeia in 2006. I am no asian pit vier expert though, just recall reading a paper on it. Could be wrong.

There was a whole change in Trimeresurus ...but with Trimeresurus wiroti it stayed in the group so that is correct.

Thank you all, I'll definitely be sharing some more pictures of Malaysian herpetofauna over time..

Caudalis, I am aware of the Malhotra & Thorpe (2004) work which reclassifies the Trimeresurus group, but there are some in the field (e.g. Vogel) who do not accept it yet for certain reasons, and I happen to fall in that category. Technically, it is also not wrong to not recognise the new names (yet). But thanks for pointing it out anyway.

I currently work a desk job while offering herping tours part-time but will soon make a full transition as I've recently resigned. I am not as avid a herpetoculturist l was a long time ago, but currently still have several specimens, including those vipers.

Cheers,
hans

Yeah, I know how it goes... I also disagree with many new African revisions, but soon all things will slow down. From your pics it seems I will need to do a Malaysia herp trip soon!
