One of the most renown viper species of Taiwan due to its association with mythology in Indigenous cultures. The Chinese Moccasin with its presence seemed a form of quiet calculation found in vipers. Patient and focused, waiting for the moment to strike. There’s always ancient atmosphere that reptiles can carry. This one sort of reminds me of a species that is overlooked, but still has its place in keeping rodents in control. For a wildlife artist such as me the Chinese Moccasin shares a story of heritage and storytelling culture that I can’t claim to fully comprehend .Painted is a juvenile one based on photograph by Li Yu 李昱.
