Malabar Pit Viper

They are truly awesome.. Vipers are very Beautiful. I don't know why people are scared of them.. Pit vipers are calm and they avoid humans.. Yes they are venomous and it adds to their beauty!!
Malabar pit vipers are found in Maharashtra in Amboli and from there till southern Western ghats..
October is not season to spot malabar pit and I got opportunity to visit this place in October only.. It was my first time in Amboli and let me tell you.. You'll find snakes everywhere.. and that night I found in and all 3 malabar pit vipers and I was more than happy>>
