I have been stung by a Mesobuthus gibbosus while catching the tail of this montivipera. The scorpion was under the same stone but fled first under the nearest vegetation just under the place were I used my bare hand to catch the tail of the viper.

These types of snakes are from the family of vipers, they are venomous and dangerous, and they are mostly medium in size and not large in size. They feed on insects, reptiles, mammals and birds. He has a special interest in living in residential areas. But in some cases, it is completely away from human societies and lives in deserts. It is easy to identify this species by the broken cross on its head.
