It dwells in underground burrows (hence the name "mole viper" or "burrowing asp"), is found under rocks, and is seen basking on roads on warm nights. Although its main habitat is in the desert, it is found in desert oases, around streams and springs rich in vegetation, and apparently it needs this moisture.

Montivipera is a genus of vipers [1] found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Greece, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. [2] Like all other vipers, they are venomous.. The Montivipera genus was previously described as a subgenus of Vipera, but it was elevated to full genus status in 2001 by Lenk, Kalayabina, Wink & Joger.
Assuming the fiery flying serpent to have a biological identification, Ronald Millett and John Pratt identify it with the Israeli saw-scale viper or carpet viper (Echis coloratus) [4] [5] based on several clues from the written sources, such as that the serpents inhabit the Arava Valley, prefer rocky terrain, and are deadly venomous.

Pseudocerastes is a genus of vipers endemic to the Middle East and Asia.It was originally created as a monotypic genus in 1896 by Boulenger for the species Pseudocerastes persicus, [1] but three species are now recognised: the spider-tailed horned viper (P. urarachnoides); Persian horned viper (P. persicus) and Field's horned viper (P. fieldi).
It includes fangless , rear-fanged (opisthoglyphous), fixed-fanged (proteroglyphous), and viper-like (solenoglyphous) species. Early molecular and physiological data linking this subfamily to others were ambiguous and often contradictory, which means the taxonomy of this subfamily has been highly contentious.
