Porthidium yucatanicum is a venomous pitviper species found in Mexico. No subspecies are currently recognized. [3]
Adults are usually 35–45 cm (13+3⁄4–17+3⁄4 in) in total length, although some specimens may exceed 55 cm (21+3⁄4 in). The females tend to be larger than the males. Moderately stout and terrestrial. [2]
Found in the northern half of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The type locality given is "Chichen Itza, Yucatán" [Mexico]. [1]
This species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001). [4] Species are listed as such due to their wide distribution, presumed large population, or because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. The population trend is unknown. Year assessed: 2007. [5]
