Short description: Species of snake

Trimeresurus rubeus, commonly known as the ruby-eyed green pitviper, is a venomous pit viper species endemic to Southeast Asia. It occurs in southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia.^[1]^[3] No subspecies are currently recognized.^[3]

Trimeresurus rubeus inhabits seasonal tropical forests, including lightly disturbed ones. All specimens have been recorded at night in dense vegetation, often near fast-flowing streams. It is known from elevations below 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level. Although most known populations occur in national parks, it can be threatened by habitat loss and harvesting for food and snake wine.^[1]
