Ilha da Queimada Grande, often referred to as Snake Island, is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. It is renowned for its high population density of venomous golden lancehead pit vipers (Bothrops insularis), which are endemic to the island. Due to the presence of these snakes, the Brazilian government has restricted access to the island, permitting only limited visits by scientists and researchers.
