The term poisonous snake is somehow inaccurate, it's more proper to use the term venomous snake since:
Venom describes inoculable toxic substances while the word Poison describes swallowable ones.

The etymology vivo pario is very suspect. In ancient Roman times the animal was already known as vipera.
Can some indication be put, as to which species have horns? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.190.26 ( talk) 09:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

'The name "viper" is derived from the Latin word, vipera, -ae, which means "viper".'
I can't help but feel like this needs to be revised, as it is very redundant. Nighthawk418 ( talk) 04:56, 26 October 2016 (UTC).
Yes please. Do we just cut off the part from "-ae" onward? Or are those three characters necessary. My Latin is extremely rusty. BlackVegetable ( talk) 16:26, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Viperidae → Viper – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCFAUNA. Viper is much more common even in google scholar. Almost 16k results vs 7k for the current name ( [1] [2]). Even when I search for "viper venom" to exclude the false positives, I get 11k results ( [3]). Vpab15 ( talk) 10:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
