Now this is yellow--McGregor's Pitviper
Like nearly all of my snakes, this is a captive subject, and his colors are spectacular. I wish the stem in front of him wasn't there, but I wasn't about to try to reach in and grab it, even if I could've done so!
There is a scientific dispute going on whether this is a separate species or merely a subspecies. They are native to the Philippines, in particular an island called Batan (nothing to do with the Bataan Peninsula).
