Common Lancehead
The Common Lancehead is also known as Fer-de-lance or Bothrops Atrox. It is an aggressive subspecies of Pit Viper that you will find in the lowlands of northern South America and on some islands in the Caribbean. It can reach up to five feet long and has a grey and brown body. Thanks to its appearance, it can blend in well in the foliage. Its venom is a strong hemotoxin that will cause various neural disorders such as paralysis and memory loss.

Reticulated Python
This is a photo of a reticulated python all coiled up. It is thought to be the longest snake on the planet! We already checked out anacondas earlier, which is the biggest in terms of both weight and length. Even though the reticulated python is generally less heavy than the anaconda, it does grow even longer. There have reported sightings that these creatures can go up to 33 feet long! As typical of all pythons, it is also a nonvenomous constrictor. There are also cases in which it has killed humans, so beware.
