Bothriechis is a genus of venomous pit vipers, commonly called palm vipers[2] or palm-pitvipers[3] found predominantly in Mexico and Central America, although the most common species, B. schlegelii, ranges as far south as Colombia and Peru.[4] All members are relatively slender and arboreal. The name Bothriechis is derived from the Greek words bothros and echis that mean "pit" and "viper" respectively.[3] Ten species and no subspecies are currently generally recognized.[5][6]
