:''Common names: ''fer-de-lance'', terciopelo (more).'' ''Bothrops asper'' is a venomous pit viper species ranging from southern Mexico to northern South America. Sometimes referred to as the "ultimate pit viper", these snakes are found in a wide range of lowland habitats, often near human habitations. Its proximity to human habitations is likely the reason why it is considered more dangerous to humans than others. This species is the main cause of snakebite incidents within its range.〔 No subspecies are currently recognized. ==Etymology== The generic name, ''Bothrops'', comes from the Greek words ''bothros'' and ''ops'', which mean "pit" and "face" (or "eye"), respectively. This is a reference to these snakes' highly sensitive heat-detecting pit organs. The specific epithet, ''asper'', which is a Latin word meaning "rough" or "harsh", may allude to the species' keeled dorsal scales.
