It's a snake

You mean what species, not the name

I doubt if snakes have names

Were you bitten by the snake? While will you be disturbed by a snake you have already killed, unless there are more of the same Snake huh. That looks like a viper and very deadly, it doesn't spit like cobras do.

I'm being disturbed looking at the picture on my phone screen.

I fear snakes but not as much as I fear women tongue.

It's not a Gaboon viper but a common snake within Nigeria. Different people have uploaded this snake specie on nairaland but I can't remember the specific name.

It is venomous yes.

With that type of head, definitely not a viper, but with the spots may carry poisonous venom.

There was a time I went to play ball and while going, I had to wait for a friend while I roll a blunt. I stood beside this snake for more than 30mins before I got to know. I even stepped on it while blowing, yet I didn't know. The snake didn't react. This is probably the most gentle snake on earth..

After I detected that there was a snake where I was standing, I shifted away and was looking at it for like 3 mins. The snake started acting like something getting shy, kept on trying to hide face..

Sha, I didn't kill it. It was alive there while I stood, blowing my blunt. My friend met me and then we pick it up using long stick. We eventually dashed a traditionalist... they do use the snake for many local things! The old man told us a lot! Hardly will the snake bite or attack you..

It’s also one of the sweetest snake! People do eat it and they reported its sweet
