Description
Bothrops oligobalius has a robust body, with a snout-vent length of 24.5 - 80.5 cm and a tail length of 3.5 - 11.3 cm. Their pattern consists of 9 - 13 trapezoidal marks on each side and a checkered pattern on their underside.
In human culture
The name 'oligobalius' derives from 'oligos', the Greek word for 'few', and 'balios', the Greek word for 'spotted' or 'dappled'. The combination, meaning 'few spots', references the fact that B. oligobalius displays less markings than B. brazili.
