Lachesis stenophrys edit
Although I assume that you made this edit in good faith, I felt compelled to remove it because it was inaccurate and unreferenced. In the section you made sweeping claims regarding the venomous nature of this species that could just as well have applied to the entire genus (Lachesis). Simply comparing this species to another in an effort to describe its nature is not going to be helpful to most readers. Also, to say that the species has four fangs is untrue: all vipers have only two fangs that are operational at any moment in time, but may have several other sets in reserve should any of the operational set be lost. It's possible for a technician to erect several sets simultaneously as a specimen is prepared for preservation as in the linked image you provided, but this is not something the snake would do on its own. Finally, I could not tell that the specimen in the image was indeed L. stenophrys. --Jwinius (talk) 02:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
