Bothrops neuwiedi (Wagler, 1824) “Jararaca-pintada”

(Figs. 10.5 and 23.1)

It occurs in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais. Most records are next to the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado, but there is a unique record in semi-arid caatinga, municipality of Itiúba (Bahia State). All records are between 377 and 760 m elevation. It was previously known to Cerrado and Atlantic Forest ( Silva & Rodrigues 2008). Thus, it may be distributed in parts of the caatinga vegetation under influence of both ecoregions. It has terrestrial habits, is nocturnal, and feeds mostly on small mammals ( Marques et al. 2001, Martins et al. 2002; Marques et al. 2005; Sawaya et al. 2008).
