Qualer: If you get the antivenom you'll be ok. Infact with all snake bites, if antivenom is administered quickly it shouldn't be fatal. |

Facts about this snake (Puff adder) 1. They give birth to large number of offspring, 20 to 60 is usual, but litters of over 80 young Although mainly terrestrial, these snakes are good swimmers and can also climb with ease; often they are found basking in low bushes. been reported so OP, becareful, there are may still be more of it around your neighbourhood. 2. They mostly are nocturnal, they rarely hunt actively, instead they prefer to ambush their prey as it passes by 3.Although these are somewhat slow-moving sna: kes, they are highly aggressive and can make incredibly fast biting attacks they are arguably the fastest striking snake in the world. It can strike within 0.25 of a second both forward and to the side. 4. They seldom grip their prey, instead, once bitten the prey is released as the venom is injected and later tracked by smell, the venom spreads faster and can destroy body tissues. 5. When disturbed, the snake will coil into a defensive S-shaped posture and hiss loudly, hence its common name "Puff adder". This is used as warning signal, it's best not to ignore it, you really don't want to find out why. 6. It is one of the dangerous snakes but it isn't the deadliest or the most venomous snake in Africa. Puff Adder venom is cytotoxic. 7. It is responsible for causing the most snakebite fatalities in Africa owing to various factors, such as its wide distribution, frequent occurrence in highly populated regions, and aggressive disposition and discoloration ability,( It camouflages so that someone can easily step on it, once u step, it bites). 8. Although mainly terrestrial, these snakes are good swimmers and can also climb with ease; often they are found basking in low bushes.(They enjoy chilling in the pathways) 4 Likes |

Mainstreets, The first picture shows the snake in the daylight while the other one shows it in the dark. The question is, did you keep the snake from daylight till dark or from dark till daylight? |
