A male of B. asper found in the municipality of Carmen de Apicalá, department of Tolima, Colombia. This species can be found close to human dwellings, and is one of the most important venomous snake species throughout its distribution because it causes most envenomings. This individual was found close to the dwelling, close to a rural aqueduct intake. Carlos Bravo-Vega et al.
