      It seems most vipers have that, with this one it is red, others can be brown. Posted 9 years ago

    According to the Reptile BD which seems to be the main reference, the name of this species is either Trimeresurus nebularis or it may be a junior synonym of Popeia inornata, but not Popeia nebularis, although in the IUCN red list and Wikipedia it is listed as Popeia nebularis.
