Nature Guide Takes Risky Selfie In Eye Of Boomslang Snake In Cape Town South Africa…Photographer Dares Africa’s Deadliest Snake Specie

Check out what a forest guide recently did in Cape Town South Africa.

Picture in the eye of Africa’s deadliest snake specie, Boomslang is 26-year-old Gerhard van der Westhuizen.

The risk-taker moved very close to the highly venomous snake and shot a photo of himself at at his residence in Cape Town South Africa recently.

The amateur photographer who is never of snake was called to help get rid of the poisonous boomslang snake from the garden of his lodge.

According to the Daily mail, Gerhard picked the snake with his bare hands and moved it to a nearby bush before deciding to take a selfie using his reflection in the eye of the deadly snake.

Boomslang Snake specie which is considered the deadliest in Africa is highly poisonous.

The venom is so deadly that it causes internal bleeding .

If left untreated, the slow acting-venom can also cause bleeding in mouth, nose and other parts of the body.

That camera must either have a very powerful resolution or its fake because I can't imagine the snake staying very still while the photographer tries to get a very close shot

We don't wanna believe this....
Only if the zoom is extraordinary.


By the way before you run when you see a snake,
Look for these signs very well.
It's better that way instead of running upandan for the ones not poisonous!
Don't bother about the THANK YOUS!

He did not take selfie in the eye of the snake. He took a photo of the snake and it happens that his reflection was caught in the snakes eyes. It is a normal thing.

From the picture and the reflection you can see that he is using a powerful professional camera maybe cannon or Nippon camera .....it can be near, but a snake can stay still though , when a snake eats rodents ,it stays still for digestion to take place

My concern is not even on the photographer.

Check out the view from the Snake's eyes. Taking all its environment all in one. Its amazing!!!
