$The desert horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) is a snake species from the viper family, more precisely, from the genus of African horned vipers, living in North Africa and on the Arabian Peninsula. Characteristic and name-giving are the horns consisting of one scale each above the eyes.\nThe desert horned viper is a medium-sized viper with a stocky body and a short, pointed tail. The scales on the back are keeled and arranged in 27 to 35 rows. The ventral scales are less keeled. The paired caudal shields are not keeled throughout. Their skin is sandy yellow to rusty brown with 30 to 36 brown spots or transverse bands and smaller lateral spots opposite the dorsal spots. A dark line runs from the eyes, whose pupil narrows to vertical slits in strong light, to the corners of the mouth. The tip of the tail is also dark colored, while the underside of the body is very light. Body length is usually 50 to 60 cm, rarely over 70 cm. On the broad, triangular head, which is clearly set off from the body, there are pointed scaly spines above the eyes, but these may be absent in some individuals.$
