They knew but utterly stupid, you can see I can't move closer hence the reason why some shot are off focus but when you tell them things like this, they think one is not smart.

Be stern with them on this matter.

Death by snakebite is terrible - and that is a fully grown specimen with massive venom glands, no doubt. Your farm is probably very far away from a hospital (not that our hospitals are likely to stock antivenin anyway undecided). Death is almost guaranteed if any of those young men is bitten.

Warn them seriously about this. You may be saving their lives by so doing.

The snake is a Gaboon viper.
The Gaboon viper is the world's largest viper among all 200 species of viper, and is the world's largest venomous snake, followed by the King cobra, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake and Bushmaster viper.
It possesses the longest fangs of any snake on earth, with fangs reaching a length of 2 inches.
This huge viper also possesses the greatest volume of venom of any snake in one bite, courtesy of the massive venom glands.
Like nearly all other vipers, its venom is haemotoxic, attacking the blood and blood vessels and can bring death within hours.
I think the king Cobra is the largest venomous snake,even the black manba can grow very big and long,however I hate my enemies I will not wish my them to confront an adult black manba face to face,it is an experience guaranteed to give nightmares because it is only snake to actively attack human beings with little or no provocation

Another illiterate Gen Z. Instead of you to ask questions and learn you concentrate on savagery. There's a standard way of approximating snake age by counting the lines on their belly.

read your comment again. Did you say world largest venomous snake followed by the King Cobra?

A king Cobra is at least 20 times bigger and longer than a gaboon viper

It is an official carbon dating process, each year, the snake grow bigger and the patches moves from it's tail to back while a new patch grown through the tail so when counting to determine the age, only the mature patches is counted.
Show me a scientific paper or any reliable Internet link to support this.
Carbon dating is not used to determine the age of living things.

Those guys are playing with danger. One scratch from those massive fangs can still do a whole lot of damage. There are even some snakes like the Texas rattlesnake that can still bite several hours after being killed.
The viper is a deadly snake because it delivers venom into the deepest tissues of the body. Look at the length of those fangs. They are like hypodermic needles.

I fucking hate snakes, I don't know who sent me to open this thread by this time.
Now before I can comfortably sleep tonight, I have to thoroughly search my whole apartment for some imaginary snake that may have been able to climb up 5 flights of stairs into my apartment and is now patiently waiting for me to go to sleep.

Your video shows a young man placing the dead viper (with its head still intact) around his neck. undecided

That young man is dicing with death. He obviously doesn't know.

The bite reflex in some snakes is still active long after 'death' has occurred. There is a reason why so many Nigerian languages have proverbs about making sure the head of a snake should be cut off after it has been killed.

One mistake (just a slight grazing of that boy's flesh by any of those fangs) and you could very well have a fatality within 60 minutes.

Educate your farmhands/labourers ASAP. I am surprised they didn't know this already.

Yep. Even if you cut of a venomous snake’s head for hours, with very little contact, it will bite you

It’s severed body can still lunge for you
