I went to site today to complete the roofing stage in one of my buildings. Some workers were doing the wood work while i directed some to clear the compound because it was bushy.

One of the workers shouted snake and before a blink of an eye, they killed the snake. Cut off the head and tail and kept the body to be consumed later. I took some photos to share here because i know Lala and nairalanders love snakes.

Venomous but not aggressive, hardly attacks human, very peaceful creature.

If someone is ever bitten by this snake it's assumed the person is evil.

Even the decapitated head has enough venom to kill. Don't touch it for your life.

Gaboon viper.
Very venomous and ill-tempered snake. It's also the king camouflage
Those saying this is docile, I think you are taking it for puff adder or ball python.
I have met this one on one and it to attacked even the stick I used to kill it.
this one is very aggressive o,

@op...you are asking the wrong question...

What you should be asking us....
Is it sweet?...
Is is better roasted or fried?
Should it be cooked with vegetable soup or tomato stew?
Should it be eaten with swallow or rice? Should you wash it down with palmwine or stout?

They don't attack humans except in error.

They mostly after food.

Even when you see them they won't strike at you. They are very clandestine.

Don't argue. Google is your friend.
