Somewhat small, arboreal snakes, B. schlegelii is perhaps best known for the namesake superciliary ("eyelash") scales above its eyes, and for having distinctly keeled or "raised" scales covering the bulk of its body. The species is also known for producing a veritable rainbow of color forms (morphs).

许氏棕榈蝮（学名：Bothriechis schlegelii）是一种蝮亚科毒蛇。它们分布于墨西哥南部到委内瑞拉北部的巴拿马雨林地带。此物种以在眼上方的眉棱鳞片为特色。许氏棕榈蝮体长不到 3 英呎，体色多变，从金黄、红底橙斑到绿底红斑的色彩都有，是最常见的绿棕榈蝮属（genus Bothriechis）动物，因而常见于动物展览中。其种加词为赫尔曼·施莱格尔，是一位德国鸟类学兼爬虫两栖类学学家。目前该物种暂无被认可的亚种。牠们隐藏于果树花丛中，鲜艳的色彩可使牠们完全融入背景。许氏棕榈蝮潜藏在树冠层中狩猎，牠们攻击速度高达 13 英尺，在咬住猎物后会紧咬不放，防止猎物掉落。许氏棕榈蝮经常会潜藏在果园中，果农有时会不经意的侵犯到牠们而激起许氏棕榈蝮的防御性。许氏棕榈蝮的毒液会破坏伤口周围的血液组织，并顺著血液直达心脏，破坏控制心脏的横膈膜，最后导致心跳停止。
