The short-tailed pit viper (Gloydius brevicaudus) is a highly venomous snake widely distributed across China, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. A hardy and abundant species, it inhabits habitats ranging from plains to 1,900 m mountains and feeds on small vertebrates, though its potent venom makes it unsuitable for inexperienced keepers.

Yellow-lipped Sea Krait
The yellow-lipped sea krait (Laticauda colubrina) is a moderately sized, venomous sea snake found from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. Despite its potent neurotoxic venom, its small mouth and low aggressiveness make it little threat to humans, and it retains enough land ability to climb ashore.
Texas Tortoise
