Product description and measurements
Bothriechis schlegelii, commonly known as the eyelash viper, is a venomous snake of the family Viperidae that inhabits the rainforests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. Its name comes from the elongated scales that protrude above its eyes, similar to "eyelashes", giving it a unique and distinctive appearance. This feature is thought to help break up its silhouette and improve its camouflage among dense vegetation.

The eyelash viper is a relatively small snake, measuring between 50 and 80 centimeters in length, although in some cases it can reach 90 centimeters. Its body is robust and its coloration is extremely variable, allowing it to blend perfectly with its surroundings. Colors can include shades of green, yellow, brown, gray or even combinations of these, often with irregular or mottled patterns that mimic the look of leaves or moss. This camouflage is crucial to its lifestyle, as it spends much of its time motionless, waiting to ambush its prey from low branches or among vegetation.

This species is arboreal and nocturnal, meaning it spends most of its time in trees and is most active at night. It feeds primarily on small mammals, birds, frogs and lizards, which it hunts by ambushing. Thanks to its hemotoxic venom, which destroys tissue and causes blood clotting, the Bothriechis schlegelii can quickly immobilize its prey. Although its bite is dangerous to humans, it is rarely fatal if medical treatment is received in time.

Behaviorally, the eyelash viper is generally solitary and territorial, preferring to remain in a strategic position for long periods of time. Its hunting relies on stealth and patience, and once it captures its prey, it ingests it whole, as is common for snakes.

The Bothriechis schlegelii is ovoviviparous, meaning that females retain the eggs within their body until the young are ready to hatch. The young then emerge fully formed, independent and capable of hunting from the moment they are born.

This snake is found in tropical and subtropical rainforests, preferring areas with dense vegetation and nearby bodies of water such as rivers or streams. Although not considered endangered, deforestation and destruction of its natural habitat pose significant threats to wild populations of the Bothriechis schlegelii. Its striking appearance and fascinating behavior have made it an iconic species of rainforests and an object of interest in both herpetology and wildlife photography.

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.

Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.

All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.

Information about the models

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
