The black mamba was trying to defend itself from your stupid aunty

You no need to tell me ooo. The snake wicked and bad. Chai it killed some students during my time in Nsukka. It could be avioded if only they use their touch light at night. Whether you step on it unknowingly, it will still bite you. Hmmmm... I fear that snake no be small!!

These are friendly garter snakes and different from cobra

The rate at which we kill them these days, their population will soon be threatened. Lets learn to live peacefully with these beautiful snakes. They don't bite to attack and to defend.
If you keep your cool, a human - garter snake cohabitation is very possible.



Even the cobra self they only bite to defend

You are very arrogant and rude. He posted this because he needed answers.

In some countries, there are conservation agencies to contact when you come into contact with certain reptiles, birds and animals. In the event that a suspicious and potentially dangerous reptile like the garter snake encroached on your property, you should try as much as possible to move away from it and avoid it as your action might trigger or threaten it to attack.

Do you have such in Nigeria or Lagos where the Op lives? If you know any agency and their contact details, you should post it instead of acting silly.

FYI, garter snake can be poisonous and depending on its feeding habit can be harmful to human. It’s not poisonous enough to cause fatality in human...at least there’s no evidence to that effect but imagine a baby crawling in the compound and being bitten by this snake!

Guestlander:
You are encroaching on their territory. Rather than trying to kill them perhaps you can try and release them somewhere safe.
Snakes may soon become extinct at the rate at which they are being killed.

The world will be a better place

A snake can not bite a baby crawling even in the bush
Not to talk of a residential building you moronn

Snakes can figure out a threat immediately

Ikem11:


All snakes does the only different is that some venoms isn't that high. No snake doesn't have venoms and all bites

Not all snakes have venom and only 4% have venom strong enough to kill an adult human

Devgod:
Bros get sense na.. there are no Black mambas in West Africa

Black mambas are native to subsaharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive

A snake will strike anything it sees as a threat, whether a baby or an adult. Some people get bitten by just stepping close to a snake, they didn't really need to step ON the snake.
Did you really have to insult him to reply? That's really rude

adaweezy:
Nigeria is in trouble if no one can answer this question.

Bikonu how is Nigeria n trouble because of lack of the knowledge of snake Who snake epp? Who snake put food for their table?

@op
I remember back in the uni days a lecturer whose research interest was in snakes told us one can differentiate venomous snakes from non venomous ones by checking the position of their fangs, he said front fanged snakes (like in the pix someone posted above) are venomous while back fanged snakes (they ave their fangs at the back in the mouth) are not venomous... Yes, Prof. Owa said so.

No oh... It's not venomous, it's the friendly type jaaare.... Cos if it wasn't venomous, u wouldn't have killed it...

yungmill:
you are wrong bro not all snakes have venom I have forgotten the name of this snake it mimics a very venomous snake even in shape size and color only those who truly know them can differentiate them, yet it has no venom at all there is even a poem about them "red and yellow kills a fellow, red and black a gentle fellow, they both have the same colours but the difference is the sequence of colour pattern. And lastly because a snake isn't venomous doesn't mean a bite from said snake should be treated with levity even a shark has no venom but a bite almost inevitably gives you a serious or mild bacterial infection look it up bro

The poisonous one is coral snake - red touching yellow

The other is red touching black is not dangerous

He can as well engage in snake farming extracting non poisonous and poisonous venom for medical uses.

missyblissy:


There is a plant you need to plant in your compound to stop snakes from coming to your compoind. My boss house is full of green plants everywhere roof, wall, garden etc but no snake. I dont know the plant but those plant sellers will the particular plant

I may be wrong--- Efirin in Yoruba
Spread the taba seeds .. at boundaries

The cat suggestion makes some sense..

You are right bro but snakes are not poisonous but may be venomous it's toads that are poisonous.

EMMAACHILE:



Gobe di nisa is viper and not puff adder

What? viper oluwa oooooooooooooo
Is viper part of black mamba family?

Just fumigates the bush nearby with herbicides. When the environment changed, the snakes will pack out.
