Lanceheads (also referred to as Bothrops) are venomous pitvipers that are rampant in Central and South America. This species is responsible for more deaths in the Americas than any other group of venomous snakes. An untreated snake bite from a Lancehead can be fatal; the rate is estimated to be about 7%.
