Common names: Arabian horned viper, desert horned viper,[4] Middle Eastern horned viper.[5]
Cerastes gasperettii, also known commonly as the Arabian horned viper and Gasperetti's horned viper, is a species of venomous snake in the subfamily Viperinae of the family Viperidae. The species is native to the Arabian Peninsula[3] and north to Palestine (region), Iraq, and Iran. It is very similar in appearance to C. cerastes, but the geographic ranges of these two species do not overlap.[6] No subspecies of C. gasperettii are recognized.[7]
