See the snake we killed under my neighbour's orange tree this morning.

I was afraid at first because I know how dangerous this snake is. I had to call some guys to join me. Incidentally, another one was killed less than one hour earlier in the same neighborhood, about 3 houses to where we killed this one, though, bigger than this.

The guys I called to assist also happened to be the ones that killed the first snake. They cut its head and tail and said they would go and sell it for around 4k or so. I don't know it's name in English, but it is called Oka in Yoruba. If it bites person, that person no go live for two minutes on earth.

Aminna Fire fire, food don land. Oya do the needful.

It's the highest cause of snake bites in the South west. As an ambush predator, it can wait for up to 10 hours motionless for its prey to pass by, before striking. The venom is so deadly that you'll be lucky to survive its bite after 45 minutes.

It's big business if you captured it and sold it to snake keepers in the west (Europe and North America), especially US. They pay a lot for it because it's very rare over there

Gaboon viper.....

Sometimes when I see snakes like this I prefer to go close to it than go close to any 9ja girl


Oga, that is a puff adder not a gaboon viper. Gaboon viper's head is way bigger and and it is distinguished by the evenly spaced rectangular lines on its back.

The same way they use animated cartoons to make children think lions and cheeters are some kind of friendly comic creatures, that's how they use editing to convince you that snakes are nice slithers just begging you to pet them.
hmmm....This is interesting!!

Viper is a general classification for these type of snakes.

They need to cut off the head and bury it deep; even when dead, that head can be deadly if you step on it and get envenomated.

Met a Kenyan who said in his country, if a snake like this bites you, they search for the snake and you need to bite it back. Fables!!

Puff adder is not called Oka in Yoruba, it's called Paramole while Oka is Cobra.

As it can stay on the ground without one noticing it's there.
