The Central American bushmaster is the longest venomous snake in the New World. The bushmaster produces a large quantity of potent venom in its bite. Luckily, they prefer to avoid humans and like to stay hidden in their forest habitat. | Gladys Porter Zoo

Filming a 🐍 South American Bushmaster (Lachesis Muta) 🐍 deep in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. This snake was about 1.8 meters long and I was only about 45cm away from the snake but this snake was completely relaxed and I was able to get some amazing closeup shots with the Laowa 12mm Wide Angle Lens. 🐍 #herpetology #venomous #snakes | Robert Wedderburn Productions
