    - Abstract of the discription of 3 new species of Puppet toads from Sumatra. The Puppet frog genus was only discribed in 2017 and now contains 5 species. It is however thought that more species will be discovered and they all should be classified as Endangered species :

    - New species of pit viper from Bolivia ( notes from Facebook ) :

    A NEW SPECIES OF MONTANE PIT VIPER FORM SOUTHERN AMERICA.

    During the last decade, the Andean Mountain Range in South America has been the theatre of many newly discovered species of pit vipers. This phenomenon is due to the wide array of different altitudinal habitats that characterized the area as well as the lack of exploration of this region. In this poorly known area of South America, on the Bolivian side of the Andes, where a photographer took a pic of an unknown Bothrops species.
    The clade Bothrops (sensu latu) is a group of pit vipers divided into 51 species which are distributed all over Southern America. All Bothropoids are characterized by a venom which is considered highly toxic and of medical importance for human beings.
    Phylogenetic analysis has been done in order to classify the undescribed species of Bothrops found, using samples from ten specimens successively found in Bolivia and Peru. From the results the new species was found to be related to both “B. neuwiedi” and “B. jararaca” species groups, even if this was supported by medium-low values. The new species was named Bothrops monsignifer (Timms et al. 2019) after the volcanic area where the first Bolivian specimen was found. It seems to be restricted to high montane forests of the eastern slope of the Andean Mountain Range, where it is likely to be found in areas with large trees exposed to sunlight. B. monsignifer can probably reach over 150 cm in length and due to its size, this species is probably able to inject a high quantity of venom. For this reason, B. monsignifer should be considered potentially lethal to human even if its distribution and habitat choices make accidentally encounters probably unlikely.

    In the picture morphological differences between Bothrops monsignifer (A), Bothrops sanctaecrucis (B), Bothrops atrox
    (C), Bothrops mattogrossensis (D), Bothrocophias andianus (E), Bothrocophias microphthalmus (F), and Bothrops brazili (G). (Timms et al. 2019)

    I realized a little earlier that it's been a while since I've heard from this thread. I see now that I've randomly stopped getting notifications for it... again.

    In any case, the long-awaited green tree python split is finally upon us! Now we two species and four taxa total.
    Species delimitation and systematics of the green pythons (Morelia viridis complex) of Melanesia and Australia - ScienceDirect

    Based off of import locales I've seen listed on animals in the private trade, I have seen all four taxa. Due to this, I have no idea what the zoo populations will be, but they're likely a mix of all four.
