Greater Morvonia wrote:Bothrops Cuniculum, more commonly called the Tunnel Lancehead, is a venomous pit viper descended from B. Insularis, or Golden Lancehead. It is endemic to the São Paulo Tunnel Network. It is named for its lancehead-shaped head as is common throughout Bothrops genus and the fact that it lives in tunnels. There are multiple subspecies of B. Cuniculum, but they are too few and far between to be included in this exhibit for now.
The Tunnel Lancehead grows to about 70cm on average, however it is known to grow to 100cm sometimes. It has a yellowish-brown colour with polygonal blotches of a darker yellow. The Tunnel Lancehad's colour is darker than what wild Golden Lanceheads were, due to the cold temperature of the tunnel network. The eyes of B. Cuniculum are clouded to the point of near-total blindness due to the relatively high radiation levels in the lower-level service tunnels and side-corridors which it calls home. Due to its clouded vision, it navigates via its very sensitive tongue and nose. It has multiple large venomous fangs which it uses to hunt prey, such as the many tunnel-dwelling reptiles or rodents, or even humans occasionally.
it is unknown how Bothrops Insularis managed to get to mainland Brazil, considering their habitat is Queimada Grande Island, also called Snake Island.
The display shows a Tunnel Lancehead about to bite a large rat. There are other Tunnel Lanceheads around it and the base of the display is made to look like cracked concrete.

Are these your only two animals you wish to include in the display?
