You can imagine the power of this snake as blood flows out from the slide and the cells lyse when they come in contact with the venom. #MicroscopicMonday  +  by MicrobialEcology | Science Channel | Facebook

The worst venomous snake bite, the Gaboon Viper edition. #reptiles #venomoussnakes #pets #gaboonviper | Joey Josselson

Franklin the West African Gaboon Viper doing some Rectilinear Locomotion! Moving in a caterpillar-like fashion. Scale scootin boogie. Just because heavy bodied snakes will move like this when cruising, doesn’t mean they can’t move quick when they feel scared. Watch the pinned video of her on my page to see an example of that. #gaboonviper #gaboon #viper #bitis | Mark’s Reptiles

Caterpillar mimics gaboon viper? This type of caterpillar like movement is called rectilinear locomotion. The gaboon viper isn’t the only snake that does this. This is typical of any heavy bodied snakes. That being said, they can still move quick when they are scared in the “normal” serpentine type movement. #Gaboonviper #gaboon #viper #caterpillar | Mark’s Reptiles
