Eyelash viper adults rang from 55-82 cm (22-32 in) long. Females are longer and more variable in size than males. They have a wide, triangular-shaped head, and eyeswith vertical pupils. Like all pit vipers, they are solenoglyphous, having large, hypodermic needle-like fangs in the upper jaw that fold back when not in use, and have heat sensitive organs, or pits, located on either side of the head between the eye and nostril.
Its most distinguishing feature, and origin of its common name, is the set of modified scales over the eyes that look much like eyelashes. The eyelashes are thought to aid in camouflage, breaking up the snake's outline among the foliage where it hides. Eyelash vipers occur in a wide range of colors, including red, yellow, brown, green, even pink, as well as various combinations of those colors. They often have black or brown speckling on the base color.
