This is Arsenal snake. Very lazy ehn. At first it will behave like it has power but a tiny City mongoose will bring it down to earth in a couple of minutes. |

That's a type of Colubrid snake, most likely a species of the Phammophis group in the Colubridae family. Snakes of the genus are venomous but not dangerous to man, because their venom is mild. Their fangs are positioned at the back; that's they are rear fanged. The only rear fanged venomous Colubrid in Africa that's potentially dangerous to human is the Boomslang which is arboreal, and is armed with a neurotoxic venom. |

Skippyvibes:Based on the image and your location in Nigeria, the snake appears to be an Olive Grass Snake (Psammophis sibilans) or a closely related species of Sand Snake or Grass Snake from the genus Psammophis. Key Identifying Features: Coloration: The body is a yellowish or olive-yellow color, which is a common coloration for these species, especially the Olive Grass Snake. Head: The head is distinctly lighter than the body, appearing pale, cream, or whitish, which aligns with descriptions of certain Psammophis species. Body Shape: It appears to have a relatively slender body, characteristic of Grass/Sand Snakes. Habitat: These snakes are often found in savanna, grassland, and open bush areas, which matches the sandy/dirt ground in the photo. Important Note on Venom: Species in the genus Psammophis (Sand/Grass Snakes) are generally considered mildly venomous and not dangerous to humans, though a bite may cause localized pain and swelling. They are rear-fanged and typically only bite defensively. ⚠️ Important Safety Disclaimer: It is extremely difficult to give a definitive and safe identification from a single photo, especially with snakes, as coloration can vary greatly. The most dangerous snakes in Nigeria, such as the Carpet Viper and Cobras, also have wide distributions. The safest rule is to treat any unidentified snake as venomous and keep a safe distance. |
