Compared to many other snakes, vipers often appear rather sluggish.
Almost all vipers have keeled scales. Keeled scales are scales that have a raised ridge running horizontally along each scale. They give the scales a rough appearance.
Vipers also have a stocky build with a short tail, and, due to the location of the venom glands, a triangular-shaped head distinct from the neck.
The great majority have vertically slit-shaped, pupils that can open wide to cover most of the eye or close almost completely, which helps them to see in a wide range of light levels.
Usually, vipers are nocturnal and ambush their prey.
