That’s a forest cobra. Highly venomous. A bite can kill within an hour if not treated. Try to push it deeper in the bush.

April4th:


That’s a cobra � and it’s definitely venomous.

It's a Black Mamba and much more aggressive than a Cobra..

GraGra247:


Stop promoting every nonsense western ideology.

So when that snake kills a human being probably a breadwinner to his family then its not cruelty??

So now human life is cheaper than dangerous poisonous animals.

Abi o...for poisonous snakes. Kill them. We do not have easily assessable anti venom like oyinbos have. Your like is more important than that of those slimmmy frkk.ERS! Be guided biko.

You want to preserve nature abi, good for you.

U get liver oo, some people for don piss for body taking a picture of that

grandstar:

A real twist on what we see on Nairaland. God bless you

I concur, ..First time seeing a live snake on Nairaland.. He sure rocks

KushLyon:

Lol... Go tell that to black mamba....immediately that one see you, you don find e trouble

This is a Black Mamba..

Jasen1:



Oho tomorrow waka pass lion oh and don't scare him at all let's see if the lion will just pass

��� Correct

grandstar:


Snakes rarely attack humans and when they do, it is fear based aggression, simply to protect itself. It is scared of you。

Tell em, even the largest python or the venomous mamba will run from humans..

DarkJeddi:
This is a Black Mamba..

Yup, not common here, quite a rare sighting in Nigeria.

Baroba:


Tell em, even the largest python or the venomous mamba will run from humans..

A Python that is large enough to swallow a human is not going to run from a potential prey..

Venomous Snakes yes,but not a huge enough Python or Anaconda..

But this snake will most likely bite (and possibly kill) the next person that will cross it's path

Lie lie OP, just say you are afraid to do the needful make the snake no use you do pepper soup.

Kill or hunting an animal to eat is not animal cruelty. Let’s stop doing copy and paste mentality with these whites and western mindset. They also hunt animals and a white man wont let a snake be roaming freely around his house either. He will call animal protection unit to get rid of it to a safer habitat.

Stupidity is letting a snake roam freely in ur vicinity not animal protection ok. What if it bites a child or even an adult??!

That is a potentially dangerous animal not a pet!!!

. ...... U have kill... me

Eskis sir, is there a way to differentiate a hungry lion and a filled one? Asking for OP

theenchanter:
lions are not always hungry, but when they're hungry, they go for big prey like buffalos and wildbeest.. and once they're filled, they can go for several days without food.

A healthy lion eat like twice a week.

you no kill am or you no fit kill am?.no worry na the snake go still cum bite tomorrow...

And I killed same yesterday.

Simply truth is that the poster is afraid of the snake he can't even go close talk less of killing it, as u can see he snap from the window net

This is black mamba, very poisonous and likes to stay inside the house especially bathroom, kitchen and bedroom.

If the lion isn't hungry, it will not do anything to you.

bluebay:

Snake doesn't hurt people unless it feels threatened... Most people always get bitten
either when they steps on snakes or gets too close to the snake..

So true. There are many snakes in my area, and once they see a human being, they run for their lives. It is always funny when I see a snake running from me.

Liver fail you.....

That's why it's good to eat lots of liver instead of flesh

Look at that snake closely. It's a black mamba. One of the most deadly snake on earth.

IT IS A BLACK MAMBA , BLACK MAMBA BLACK MAMBA BLACK MAMBA. RUN RUN RUN. MOST VENEMOUS AND POISONOUS SNAKE IN AFRICA.
MORE VENEMOUS THAN KING COBRA

RUN RUN RUN

I the CEO of Nat Geo wild congratulates you for your kindness towards that serpent' GRACIAS!!

madridsta007:


That is a venemous snake.
You probably didnt kill it because you were scared. Understandable.
You should have called someone else to kill it.
It will see a human and strike when it has the chance. It would not rationalise like you. It will bite and possibly kill the person it sees. Because of you. Let us hope that this wouldnt be a child or someone sleeping.

Yeah you are right.
He just played with a black mamba: a very fast, venomous and deadly snake.

It can strike unaware, even when someone is not pursuing it.

qualityGod:
But I was told snake hate carpet Grass but this snake love it,pls who know the specie of the snake?

Ah think that is a black mamba

Yup. It’s a black mamba. The type I’ll tell my friends, “kill it before it sees you”. Highly venomous sub-Saharan African breed. Only found in the tropics.

It is very curious at anything that moves or has a heat map/ heat radiation that it can feel. Then it strikes, with precision.

It was an opportunity to kill it and probably save someone’s life (because it looks like it was running away), but he ducked.

I'm stilltl trying to understand the joy between Nairaland mods and snake related News
