Round pupil and oblong head; mostly associated with forest cobra. It could also be mistaken as a rat snake when large.


There are rats in your compound, right?

Yesterday around 10pm, My Dad was doing his routine check of the environment to ensure things were in order before going to bed.
He was with a torch when he noticed slight movement close to his feet as he moved, he shone the torch towards the direction(the torch wasn't very bright) and saw a tail behind one of the kegs on the ground beneath one of the windows of my parents room and thought it was a lizard.
Our compound is large, so we keep kegs, bowls and some other stuff behind our house. Our chickens' coup is also behind close to the fence.
As my dad moved to check what it was, the snake suddenly moved rapidly behind other kegs.
When my Dad saw it, he shouted Jesus, who no go shout?? My mom heard it and was like "what's that"...
My Dad didn't answer, he just swiftly entered the kitchen via the back door and got the cutlass.
The first strike didn't get the snake well, so it tried escaping and slithered towards the chicken coup.
My Dad had to wait for about 30 minutes making sure the snake was in a enclosed area before he stuck it on the head.
He said it took the snake almost 2 hours after he had struck it before it stopped moving completely.
From 12am till this morning, my mom never sleep and she no gree open window .
Omo, I thank God for his protection, coz imagine my Dad wasn't with a torch or somehow, the snake entered the house, Kai.
I know it's a cobra probably a forest cobra.
Within 30 mins, pesin don kpai.

Harmattan season is snake season.
The snakes would seek warmer spots like underneath rocks and close to human environs to keep warm especially during the cool evenings and cold nights.
Let's ensure to check our environment and use a bright torch at night especially.
