Description
English: Malabar pit viper(Yellow morph)

Trimeresurus malabaricus, commonly known as Malabar pit viper, rock viper or Malabar rock pit viper is a venomous pit viper species endemic to southwestern India Highly variable snake in terms of colouration, the different morphs of MPV were neither age related, not sex related and nor seasonal differences.They just happen to be, it seems.One of nature’s mysteries.This snakes can also appear in green,brown,orange and even a maroon morph. T. malabaricus is slow-moving, but capable of fast strikes. Its venom causes moderate pain and swelling to humans. These symptoms subside in a day or two.

It may be locally threatened by loss of forest habitats (through conversion of land to agricultural or urban use), however, it is adaptable and can occur in modified habitats.

ചോലമണ്ഡലി അഥവാ മലബാർ കുഴിമണ്ഡലി. അണലി വിഭാഗത്തിൽ പെടുന്ന ഈ പാമ്പുകളെ കാട്ടരുവികളിലെ പാറക്കെട്ടുകൾക്കിടയിലാണ് കൂടുതലായും കണ്ടുവരുന്നത്. ഇവ തദ്ദേശീയ ഇനമാണ്. ഒരുപാട് നിറങ്ങളിൽ ഇവയെ കണ്ടുവരുന്നു. ത്രികോണാകൃതിയിൽ പരന്ന വലിയ തലയും മുന്നോട്ടുന്തിയ മൂക്കും ശരീരത്തിലെ പച്ചനിറവും ഈ പാമ്പിനെ തിരിച്ചറിയാൻ സഹായിക്കുന്നു. ഏതാണ്ട് മുക്കാൽ മീറ്ററാണ് ഇവയുടെ നീളം. വിഷമുണ്ടെങ്കിലും പൊതുവേ മാരകമല്ല.
