yup, it is. The second "Temple Viper" comes from the famous or infamous "Temple of the Azure Cloud", also known as The Snake Temple, a 150 year old temple located now in a bustling city on the island of Penang, off of peninsular Malaysia. The vipers are seen as holy representatives of the deity Chor Soo Kong. Large numbers of wagleri are kept on plants and statues in and around the temple and are handled freely and freehandedly by the temple keepers. The snakes are said to have inhabited the temple naturally and are reported by the keepers not to bite, possibly due to thick clouds of incense burned inside the temple which is said to calm the already mostly lethargic snakes.
