1-AFRICAN ROCK PYTHON;

I put this first because it is the most common here. Pythons are easy targets because they are NON-VENOMOUS and not confrontational. They are also big in size. As constrictors, their strength lies in their sizes, so the full grown ones come big. They are the snakes you see swallowing goats and dogs upandan. Majority of the pythons we have around pose no threat to a grown human.

I am in love with this snake because of its skin. You can’t miss it. It belongs to the family, viperidae and it is the largest of the family I must add. They are usually short and fat. Gaboon vipers are masters of disguise and despite being one of the deadliest snakes in the world, would rarely bite humans. When it bites, it is nice enough to decide if it should inject no venom, small venom or full dose. However, bites mostly occur when humans won’t just leave them alone or mistakenly step on them before they get away. When in their natural habitat, their colour blends with fallen leaves, making it harder to spot them.

Gaboon vipers are HIGHLY VENOMOUS snakes blessed with the longest fangs amongst venomous snakes.

Another popular one and a member of the elapid family. Like most snakes, it is aggressive, albeit shy and would generally avoid humans. In fact, most snakes do not set out for the day with plans of biting humans.

When faced with a threat, it would do its best to get away. If cornered, it would typically get into an upright position and let out a hiss. Its initial aim is to intimidate you into backing off so it can get away.

The forest cobra is also an aggressive defender (think Ramos) and unlike the gaboon viper, would deliver a large dose of venom in a single bite. This makes it harder to survive its bite.

It is one of the spitting cobras.

Same family with the gaboon viper, so it is quite understandable when people mix them up. It is a nonaggressive and dull snake, but would strike when provoked.

Its venom is FATAL to humans and can kill in a day.

These are NON-VENOMOUS snakes found inside and around the house. Its skin gives me cobra vibes, but the head is obviously too small to house a hood. It is usually shades of brown in colour, though older and larger ones are (almost) black in colour.

This snake would make a good pet.

How fast can its bite kill you? If left untreated, you would die in minutes.
