The North American Latin Viper was just discovered about 5 years ago to this day. This snake is a reptile and is related to pit vipers such as rattlesnakes, copperheads, etc. They have been spotted in the West Coast of the United States, most of the population has been spotted in San Mateo County. The color of the snakes body is caramel, and the color of the vipers head is orange. The Latin Viper can reach a length of 6 feet, these snakes are elusive and can hunt prey in water as well. One thing that stands out about this viper is that it can spit its orange venom 6 feet and when it makes contact on its prey, the venom seeps through the preys skin into the bloodstream at an alarming speed that forces the prey to turn in the direction of the Latin Viper for an easy meal. The thing that stands out about the Latin Viper is that it's orange venom can only kill rodents when the venom makes contact on the skin of the rodent, it can kill humans too, only if bit. These snakes have been known to be very popular, with rodent infestations these snakes have been able to wipe out heavy populations of rodents, that is why San Mateo County has businesses that offer renting these snakes in order to clear rodent problems in people's home or businesses. These snakes have been in high demand for those with rodent problems, and that is why the cost to rent one of these vipers is $20,000, the reason why the cost is so high is because handling these reptiles is very dangerous, a lot of handlers have died from setting them free is places that rent the Latin Viper.
