Found This In Front Of My House. What Is It Called In Your Local Dialect?? by Nobody: 8:04am On May 27, 2015
Woke up early in the morning, stepped outside the gate and realised there's this "rod" on the ground with a nice pattern or design.
I got closer and discovered it was a snake. I took a closer look and to my greatest surprised it was a VIPER..

damn!! I had to do the needful at that time by smashing the head, because you never know who might mistakenly step on its tail especially as it almost has the same colour as the ground.

It was too big to ignore (as a viper).
Take a look at the length compared to the largest size of bathroom slippers. (in the pix)

Snakes can be very deceptive. Be very careful where u go or step especially dead leaves..

VIPER
IBO :- ajuala
HAUSA:- gobe De nisa

What is it called in Yoruba or your local dialect??


modified:- those asking if I stay in the bush or desert.. To answer your question: NO.

Oka is Cobra...

This is a puff adder, it's called "MonaMona". I guess the name was given due to its mesmerizing skin pattern.

That's a Puff Adder. You're so Lucky it didn't strike you. Please give us more info about the snake. Did it attack you, any warning sound, or did it just wait for you to kill it.. Give us clue on how to face a snake when running away isn't possible.
