I think its called puff adder in English. bros if you really want to enjoy this particular breed the best way is to smoke it dry after garnishing with seasoning salt and pepper. it can also go well as proper soup sha but when left for too long it gets too soft. just invite me when you're done. Don't worry I will come along with fresh chilled palm wine ;DI

This was killed this morning while working on a farmland, a friend of mine almost stepped on it, thankGod he didn't cuz I heard who ever did that wld av his or her leg swollen the following day especially this particular snake. There are myths surrounding this snake, one is that it's only active in the night not during the day, It's called "labule" in my own language.
Wow! the thing is really fat.


Severusnape come see another beautiful creature. Though its not beautiful to me.tongue

Sure FP material!
That's a puff adder, a highly nocturnal venomous ambush snake that occurs mostly in Africa. It's one of the most " stepped on snake because of it's camouflage. the venom though slow attacks the nervous system which makes you feel little or no pain while dieing. The part of the country where I'm from, it's seen as a sumptuous delicacy meant for only elders and red cap chiefs grin

Re: Pictures Of A Puff Adder Killed This Morning While Working On A Farmland by 19naia(m): 4:45pm On Jul 08, 2016
Its a Gaboon Viper and one of the too snakes to never get bitten by, it would be a horrible death.

Gaboon Viper is the only one with the light colored rectangles running along the length of the spine.

Puff adder is a similar snake but not as hefty and with a different body color pattern.

The photos show pictures of puff adders in the top photo and Gaboon Vipers in the bottom. (I also added photo of a turtle and muskrat i saw when riding bicycle the 0n the r0ad by the lake grin)
OP's snake fits the description of Gaboon viper very well and its more interesting than a puff adder.

Nigeria was found to have the highest density of snakes on earth and it's no surprise that Nairaland has the highest rate of snake encounter stories.

In what lga of Nigeria was the snake killed?

That looks like a harmless python, anyway.

The area it was killed may give a clue regarding what specie of snake killed.

Even if your friend steps on the snake, this snake will do him no harm. The exception is when the tip of its tale is touched which cannot possible because this snake would insert the tips of its tale deep inside soil wherever it is found.

Congratulations bro: please send mine own share ooo...

puff adders are more heamotoxic than neurotoxic.

See as dem spoil the meat. When killing a snake, only target the head so that you will not destroy it.
