}}Trimeresurus erythrurus, commonly known as the red-tailed bamboo pitviper,[3] is a venomous pit viper species endemic to India, Bangladesh and Burma. No subspecies are currently recognized.[4]

Description

Males grow to a maximum total length {{convert|575|mm}}, of which the tail is {{convert|120|mm}} in length. Females reach a maximum total length of {{convert|1,045|mm}}, with a tail length of {{convert|165|mm}}.[5]

Scalation: dorsal scales in 23-25 longitudinal rows at midbody; first upper labial partially or completely fused to nasal; 9-13 upper labials, 1-2 rows of scales separate upper labials from the suboculars; 11-14 scales in a line between supraoculars; supraoculars rarely divided; temporal scales small, strongly keeled; ventral scales: males 153-174, females: 151-180; subcaudals: males 62-79, females 49-61, usually paired, occasionally unpaired shields present among paired series.[5]

Color pattern: head uniform green, dorsum bright green, light ventrolateral stripe present in males, present or absent in females (Maslin [1942:23] says that the ventrolateral stripe is absent, but M.A. Smith [1943:523] states that it is present in males and variable in females), tail spotted with brown; hemipenes without spines.[5]

Geographic range
