Echis carinatus, known as the saw-scaled viper,[2]Indian saw-scaled viper, little Indian viper,[3] and by other common names, is a viper species found in parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, and especially the Indian subcontinent. It is the smallest member of the "big four" Indian snakes that are responsible for causing the most snakebite cases and deaths, due to various factors including their frequent occurrence in highly populated regions, and their inconspicuous nature.[4] Like all vipers, the species is venomous. Two subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[5]
