The Puff Adder I Encountered At UNIBEN Botanical Garden This Morning (Photos) by Tickles001(m): 10:04am On Mar 26, 2020 |
Who knows anything about this kind of snake? I encountered this snake at UNIBEN botanical garden this morning. Being an animal right activist I never intended to kill it, but the way it displayed make me resort to chase it down and kill it for the safety of people who usually comes to chill in that garden. This snake moves with a straight body, this means it doesn't wriggle while it moves. It a surprisingly loud hissing sound. It can inflate its whole body to about 3 times the normal size. Not too fast but you'll need to run to catch up with it. The body is flat that you might mistake it to be some dried long leaf if you don't look well. It's good with camouflage as it was staying just 2 feet away from me but it took me several seconds of looking at it before I realize it was a snake. 34 Likes 4 Shares

All of you are asking why I did kill the snake. The reason is to protect other people that visit the garden. This snake has advanced camouflage capability. It lay within three feet away, but it took me time to spot it. So how am I sure the next person will be that lucky to see and avoid it. Even if I chase it away it might still return and bite an unlucky person. I wouldn't have killed it if it behaved like most snakes I've encountered, but this one proved to be something different by the loud hissing and body inflation. For those who said I should go home because they close uniben. Are you forgetting there are UBTH dentistry quarters, JSQ, and SSQ? Are you forgetting that non-students live in those places with their families? Or you want us to leave our homes and business that has nothing to do with the school simply because they sent students home? I'm a freelancer that happens to live around the campus. I usually go there alone to take a break in the arms of nature, when my brain is overheated. More pics 66 Likes 6 Shares

One of the most venomous of all snakes. I hv encountered that snake before.. It moves in a straight path like a millipede. You might mistaken it for a lizard for the size of its head. Though, it's only when they are small they exhibit these traits. Once they are matured, they can wriggle and move about. 27 Likes 1 Share |
