The scientific name of the five-step snake is the viper, also known as the white flower snake, the hundred-step snake, the seven-step snake, the Chinese viper, etc., which is one of the famous poisonous snakes in China. It is called the barramundi because its snout is long and prominent. So sometimes some people confuse it with the original spearhead viper that is also a triangular head.
In fact, the pattern on the viper is triangular, while the original spearhead viper is round. The snout of the viper is obviously more pointed, and there are small granulations on it, but the snout of the original spearhead viper is relatively blunt, so there are still many obvious differences between the two. However, as we age, the tippipe's snout becomes more rounded.
Adult barramundi can grow to 91-121 cm, and it is said that the longest recorded so far is 154.5 cm. Most of their bodies are brown or gray, and the lighter triangular brown-gray pattern forms a good protective color that can be easily hidden in dead wood leaves.
And they have tubular poisonous fangs shaped like barbs, not only long, but also large. It is precisely for this reason that it can inject a large dose of venom into the body of the prey to ensure the death of the prey, and the wounds bitten by it are generally more serious. Coupled with the ferocity of the poison, so in ancient times, people who were bitten often died quickly, so they were called five-step snakes or hundred-step snakes.
