    That's amazing!

    Is Metlapilcoatlus mexicanus perhaps also known under a synonym? Metlapilcoatlus mexicanus is not known in eol.org or inaturalist. May I know how you got to the name?     Posted 5 years ago

      It would appear that the genus name was recently changed. I have found it under Atropoides mexicanus, the Central American Jumping Pitviper. Posted 5 years ago

          Always happy to be of service. I must admit, that I would prefer my pitvipers not be "Jumping"!! Posted 5 years ago
