This snake is not deadly. It is only deadly when eaten as it contains poisonous substances.

If eaten the person dies within 48hrs. I advice you to Bury the snake.

Do not allow anyone to eat it pls

Xristars:

Thank God rattle snake isn’t common over here bro..

labake1:
I have killed this particular snake up to 10 times in my compound
I am tired of it, I have done everything to prevent snake from entering the compound but nothing is working

If nah this particular snake, you’ve got nothing worried about..

I think one truth is snakes are everywhere, with us. The thing is they don’t come to us even if they see us..

On Natgeo wild, I’ve seen several cases of people that lived with snakes for years, yet those snakes never attack or bite - rather, they were hiding and doing their thing..

labake1:
I was told so too
That snake rarely bite or attack you unless it is being sent to attack you. I noticed they do move faster when they see me but I do make sure I kill them

Ohh..

I didn’t see this your message earlier. My sister, that snake is money o! Let’s say you see it today and you didn’t kill it but capture it, it’s nothing less than 70k, so long you didn’t kill it..

The traditionalist always needed it alive! Yoruba do call it one name but I can’t just remember yet..

You killed a met a viper and you are still asking if it's venomous. You had better be thanking your stars.

It is this particular snake
The money is tempting but who want to catch it alive? I have killed 10 that means I lost 700k
I do gather courage to kill it by pouring fuel on it then cut the head with cutlass. I always move with cutlass in the morning but it's not easy

johnson4nosa:

Treat as urgent

Snakes are not like cockroaches that if you see one, then there are others, no. Probability is low that there are others in the same place. But yes it's scary.

That's a carpet viper. Highly venomous, if bitten and medical care is not sought instantly, it's unfortunate victim would die within 1-3 days of blood clots, multiple organ failure, tissue decay, internal and external bleeding.

e snake in the image appears to be a Saw-scaled Viper (Echis ocellatus), commonly found in West Africa, including Nigeria. It is one of the most medically significant venomous snakes in the region.

🔍 Identification Clues:

Body markings: Notice the alternating dark blotches with light-colored edges along its body.

Head shape: Broad, somewhat triangular.

Scales: Rough, keeled scales that make a distinctive rasping sound when rubbed together (hence the name "saw-scaled".

Color: Usually sandy, brown, or grey with darker markings—blends into the ground very well.


⚠️ Danger Level:

Extremely venomous and responsible for many snakebite fatalities in West Africa.

Aggressive when threatened, and strikes quickly.


⚕️ Medical Importance:

Venom contains hemotoxins that can cause bleeding, swelling, tissue damage, and in severe cases, death if untreated.
Antivenom is available, but early medical attention is critical.
If encountered, do not approach or attempt to kill it. These snakes can strike fast and unpredictably. Always alert local wildlife or pest control authorities for removal.

the name of the snake is tajudeen. Plant tobacco or Indian hemp around your compound

ruggedtimi:
Is a Rhombic night adder viper...Venom yes, but not very fatal and no documented death from the venom.

Na you dey keep the record?

You sound too sure

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

Yorubas call that snake "Oka" It is more protective of its tail.
