Hi guys..i know this might sound like a noob question..but i was reading up on some snakes from the genus bothrops..which is the snake that is referred to as fer de lance? is it bothrops asper or b.atrox...or is fer de lance a general term used for lance head snakes?
forgive my ignorance for i live in a place far away from any bothrops..
regards,
chan
It is often used to describe both aspers and atrox, but in the correct usage it would describe atrox. The "correct" common name for B. asper is Terciopelo.
Alrightey!
thanks for clearing up the confusion.
It refers to the species Bothrops lanceolatus. Often (falsely) used to describe Bothrops spp. in general.
