No doubt, it is a puff adder. Native to west Africa and sub Saharan. It's snake season. The sun is out and it's 100% certain we will come in contact with this deadly serpents.

You are saying snakes are dangerous and shouldn't have existed?

Snakes help to keep the population of rats in check. Without snakes, rats will fill up your homes. They will give you many viruses, and humans would have certainly gone into extinction. Imagine dealing with three pandemics at the same time.

Every living thing has its place and benefits in the ecosystem. Some help us get rid of pests, some help with pollination, and all provide what is called ecosystem services.

And if you say snakes are dangerous, what will you say about human beings?

No animal has suffered from another species as much as they have suffered from human beings. Chickens, goats, snakes, lions, tigers, elephants, and so many animals that man has hunted into extinction. There was a period when lions and tigers were hunted for their skin, even almost into extinction. Whales have also suffered same fate, almost hunted into extinction.

Have you seen where they make snakeskin products before. Those snakes are skinned alive by human beings. Imagine there is a creature more powerful than humans. How would you feel if they skinned you alive?
Snakes help to keep the population of rats in check. IF YOU SEE snake in your house what will you do?

I will catch it, and release it back into the wild.

I am a snake lover and expert. I understand just how to handle them.

During my theology days in the United States and India, I kept snakes, mostly nonvenomous, especially constrictors.

If you don't know much about snakes, then just drive them away, and not attempt to kill them by all means.
