The newly discovered snake, named Matilda's horned viper, has been described
in the journal Zootaxa.
The exact location of the new species is being kept a secret, because it
could be of interest to the illegal pet trade.
Campaign group the Wildlife Conservation Society said the snake's habitat,
estimated at only a several square km, is already severely degraded from logging
and charcoal manufacture.
