The Rhinoceros viper (Bitis nasicornis)
In Browning's version, the Pied Piper boasted to the town committee that he could expel pests such as vipers with his pipe. Snakes are symbolic in many stories, usually as being villainous. Probably the most famous depiction is the serpent in the Garden of Eden, from the Bible.
