The scientific name used to be Trimeresurus albolabris. They were reclassified quite a while ago. Now they are Cryptelytrops albolabris...

Hey, hello. Long time away from this forum. Y'now, Petra is right. Back in 2004, the Trimeresurus Complex was reclassified based on scientific research as well as visual analisis of hemipenal morphology. The white lipped vipers are now called Cryptelytrops albolabris. Saludos de Mexico, herpers
