As Bothrops, it´s behavior
is very agressive and they have a venomous and dangerous
bite.
Reproduction
Bothrops neuwiedi pauloensis exhibits low fecundity
compared to other congeners (e.g., Bothrops jararaca,
Bothrops moojeni, Bothrops jararacussu.
This is probably a consequence of the relatively small
body size attained by snakes in the neuwiedi complex,
because there is a strong, positive correlation between
fecundity and body size in snakes (Seigel and Fitch,
1984).
Reproduction is highly seasonal, with a long vitellogenic
period
Embryos appear only from October to December (rainy
season) |
