Op put snake in the title otherwise lala will not move this topic

This could be the result of that madman that imported some strange animals in a crate sometime last year

Rocktation:
What are you all even arguing about? Why can't this snake be a taipan? Because a few researchers said it shouldn't be in your country? Really?

SMfyneH for una...

i once saw a comodo dragon in my garden . Where i served in the east also saw a kangaroo

Look closely my friend..

SHOW US CLEAR PICTURE MY FRIEND

A customer ordered for a ton of palm kernel cakes. while I was trying to load them into the van.. I saw a snake undulating in between bags of cake. Without thinking I jumped up, fled and shook for several seconds. I called my boys who killed the snake.

A close up pic I harvested from the internet shows it was a baby Taipan.. Taipan's in Nigeria is real my friends. pls be careful..

Taipan ko, tycoon ni.

That is not a Taipan.

Nofav0rs:
Shows the world is upside down. Strange things in strange places. Like this thread is in wrong section. Even lions now eat grasses

I blame Buhari

Lmao stop watching Stranger things

The picture is not clear especially the head.

majorgr:
you can't really say its an inland taipan because it has not gone through the process of taxonomy which is done by experts. even though you want to give us an eye witness account, the snake is too damage beyond classifying it as a taipan, frm wat im seeing i can see a cobra.. but again, it has to be classified by a taxonomist to confirm. thank you

exactly, I'm also seeing a cobra or one of this nonvenomous snake, considering the pink/orange colored spots on its belly as described, then I can say its a cobra.

Oshare nah Doh.. try dey fumigate the area small..

la-la la-la la-la la-la food don land Ooooo

Interesting, but do you have close up pictures, and that of the head? It might be another snake that looks like it.
Anyway, I believe we still have many undiscovered animals in Nigeria

See why trouble makers should face the law? The stupid OAP has spread news which will make more people start misidentifying snakes. The salt water Ebola cure comes to mind.

CosmeticChemist:


The head has an angular brow and is lighter coloured on the face. The eye is a reddish colour. The belly is cream and usually marked with orange or pink flecks.

\This doesn't ptove it's a taipan. Most juvenile snakes have similar markings and most snakes actually look alike

NOTE:



The Inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is considered the most venomous snake in the world with a murine LD50 value of 0.025 mg/kg SC. Ernst and Zug et al. 1996 list a value of 0.01 mg/kg SC, which makes it the most venomous snake in the world in their study too. They have an average venom yield of 44 mg.[90] Bites from this species have a mortality rate of 80% if left untreated, although it is very rare for this species to bite. This species is known to be a very shy, reclusive and a laid-back snake that will nearly always slither away from disturbance. It is not an aggressive species and rarely strikes

malificent:
@Op how sure are you that's an inland taipan?

In Nigeria we are more interested in killing the snake than finding out what specie it belongs to.

And how do you do that, by dancing with it

From the look.. The snake really suffered an ugly death.. Which shows continually hitting it even after death

This isn't an Indian taipan. Why the lies?

so it wasnt u that killed it but u that advertised it on nairaland

How can Taipan be in Nigeria . Nawao.. that snake is the most vernomous snake in the world..

I doubt his claim. Taipans are native to Australia. A close picture could have helped us believe his proof

Every snake will now be an inland taipan?

malificent:



Believe me, you in particular cannot differentiate between an inland taipan and the rest of its reptile relative's. So calm down.

Exactly..one stupid OAP called N6 without any proper analysis other than amateur vision immediately raised a false alarm about this snake breed that I have known here on the island for a long time ... if only they knew how similar many snakes look alike in markings and patterns

I know what SM is but what da hell is fyneH

Inland taipan ko
mainland Japan Ni

Bobo, no guck yourself. That's no taipan.
They are native to Australia and not Africa.
That's one of the most poisonous snakes on planet Earth. And are excellent tree gliders .

No carry mouth bring danger come our side , mbok.

Oshee

Inland Taipan in Africa

Cant believe!
until i verify this with my korokoro eyes...

You're trying soo hard to prove that its an Inland Taipan, sadly, we can't simply take your word for it. The snake has been badly bruised , we can't even delineate the head from the rest of the body.

Without thinking I jumped up, fled and shook for several seconds. I called my boys who killed the snake

Especially after this. Your boys killed the snake yet you took credit for it. Why then should we the your word for it?

Let's be vigilant

Pics no clear how sure are we that's a taipan

Lala's extended cousins have finally invaded our country like aliens

Why not just say u killed snake
