               Atheris squamigera African Bush Viper, Rough-scaled Bush Viper also well known as The Bush viper.This animal accurately found in at elevations ranging from 100 to 400 m in elevation. The climate of the Takamanda Forest Reserve, Cameroon, where this species is particularly abundant, alternates between rainy (April to November) and dry seasons. Rainfall in the Reserve varies from 1500 mm to 10,000 mm per year. The typical colour for this species is yellowish-green on the dorsum and venter.according to article that I have found “A. squamigera also has relatively large eyes. It has long, tubular, hollow fangs, which are supplied with venom by a gland located on the upper jaw, between the eyes and mouth. These retractable fangs are connected to a bone that can shift posteriorly within the upper jaw to house the fangs. (Branch and Bayliss, 2009; Chifundera, 1990; Corniskey, et al., 2003; Cundall, 2009; Ota and Hidida, 1987)”.
