It's highly venomous. Doesn't attack easily. The head is very dangerous. It's not easy to survive if you match the head( you have to run for your life if you mistakenly match the head).. It's use for native medicine and the leaves it lies on. You can eat it. Very sweet. It's like chicken.

I went to site today to complete the roofing stage in one of my buildings. Some workers were doing the wood work while i directed some to clear the compound because it was bushy.

One of the workers shouted snake and before a blink of an eye, they killed the snake. Cut off the head and tail and kept the body to be consumed later. I took some photos to share here because i know Lala and nairalanders love snakes.
gabion viper. Very gentle, but extremely venomous with very long fangs, digging deep into veins/ blood stream

Is there a snake dat is not venomous??

Actually, only about 25% of snakes in the world are venomous (If not less)!

Most common snakes are not venomous!

Even among the venomous ones, only less than 40% of them are aggressive, meaning many of them will only bite if they are disturbed or threatened.

Yes, many. Pythons and other constrictors are not venomous. They use sheer muscle power to wrap around a prey, squeeze and constrict it to death before swallowing. The largest snakes including anacondas are not poisonous.
But this large viper in this thread has large amount of venom, large fangs like hypodermic injection needles and HIGHLY poisonous. But not aggressive like cobra. You have to step on it or disturb it where it is hiding to strike.

Venomous but not aggressive, hardly attacks human, very peaceful creature.

If someone is ever bitten by this snake it's assumed the person is evil.
Move close to it unknowingly and see if you wont get bitten...does that make your assumption right? cheesy
