This video shows an observation of a focal female big- eyed green pit viper (Trimeresurus (Cryptelytrops) macrops), TRMA232 (center of screen), interacting with a conspecific (likely another big- eyed viper, top right side of screen) in a rural habitat in northeast Thailand. The focal viper does not appear to respond and we classified this interaction as "indirect" (more than half a viper body length away), and "neutral" (viper not aware/does not acknowledge conspecific) in outcome. See Barnes et al. (2020) for more details.
