Looks like you are new here. That thing you quoted is not human but spam bot. It's programmed to repeat people's comments. You'll probably be seeing them in every thread.

Lol.. A moniker that has over 70posts is what you're with "sense" referring to as a bot? Ok na.. Be there deceiving and confusing yourself using different monikers. Antispambot my foot !! undecided

Sir, shift abeg..

Real recognize real.

So I guess na only Lalasticlala go fit ID the snake well. E get one of my guys that year in JSS1 called Eddy. He was a strong brown skin boy who never backs away from any snake or scorpion found in the dormitory.

Eddy killed so much snakes and scorpions we nicknamed him Eddy The Scorpion Killer.

One fateful day, during our weekly Thursday 'manual labor' news made rounds that Eddy had been stung by a black scorpion and was rushed to the Sick Bay.

As if that wasn't enof later the same day around evening time, another shocking news swept over the entire blocks of dorms in school...

... and it was about Eddy.

The Scorpion Killer has been bitten by a snake this time. He survived both incidents. We had no choice but to comot the 'Scorpion Killer' from his nickname because e be like the snakes and scorpions been dey plan revenge

So I guess it's one day for the Snake Killer. Another for the snake wink
Reminds me of when I was small around 1995 in my village in Benin Republic. My cousin used to steal my money and since I sabi catch snakes and scorpions I picked one scorpion and put it inside my safe.

Na so I go watch gelede ( some sort of masquerade in yoruba land ) and needed money ran home forgetting I already put scorpion in the sack, na so I put hand oo... You know what happened next.

My grandpa ( of blessed memory ) laughed so much that I almost got angry before they pierced it and removed the venom for me - leaving ever lasting mark.

Same local anti venom that resulted in the death of a farmer here in umuahia last year? They had to rush him to FMC when it was already late for him. There are different types of snake venoms
1. Hemotoxic venoms attack blood vessels
2. Neurotoxic which attacks the nervous system
3.cytotoxic which is a combo of both!
If you use a hemotoxic antivenin on a neurotoxic snake bite it won’t work! So unless that local antivenom concoction is specific it will fail..moreover not all snake bites are fatal or even dangerous for man. Some of those guys treat dry snake bites with their concoction and assume they have gotten the magic to snake bites.
Yes, i remember this incidence. He was attacked by a viper and was given a local antivenom which didn't work and by the time he was rushed to the hospital it was too late and he gave up. The whole body got swollen.

My brother unknowingly marched on this reptile in our compound around 10 pm and it bit him in reprisal. Kindly help identify.
He’s in the hospital now though
I need to identify this creature

I guess this is probably a black mamba. But due to its crushed head and the picture, one cant be sure. Their are many other black snakes out there.

And I really pray it's not a black mamba
Re: This Snake Just Bit My Brother by greygoblings(m): 1:23pm On Feb 09, 2021
Really looks like a cobra. Seriously poisonous. If you hadn't bashed the head so badly, I'd surely be more accurate but definitely looks like a cobra.

No Black Mamba in Nigeria. That's a snake endemic to Southern and Eastern Africa.

Don't worry that snake is not poisonous!! Its just a nocturnal stubborn snake Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia
Re: This Snake Just Bit My Brother by GodisFirst: 1:59pm On Feb 09, 2021
That snake looks like a cobra. Can you turn the neck for the confirmatory white or yellowish sports?
Re: This Snake Just Bit My Brother by Sirnioking(m): 2:00pm On Feb 09, 2021

Why are people so stupid. We are talking of a life threatening situation here and one is making dry jokes out of it. If it were you or your loved ones would you be writing this trash?

That is how shallow humanity has become. Trivializing matters of life and death cos it doesn't concern them.

You should've made the place brighter but it looks like a black mamba, very slick and deadly and crawls around day and night.

shocked

OP so wrong of you to had kill it while ur bro is still in the Hospital. what happened to catching the snake alive and get the mouth open into a lil bottle where you suck out the living venom outta it for some anti venom to treat ur bro. mehn you just wasted the Anaconda for vanishing

Catching that alive would be difficult.
Can't imagine two brothers getting bitten the same day by the same snake.

We have been neighbours since 2018.
My site is located in a bushy swamp where they are never in short supply.
That goes for puff adder, gaboon viper and other species.
At a time, they assisted me greatly in clearing the large numbers of rodents that tormented my life.
