Don’t let snake bite you o,there is no snake venom in nigeria

Second chance

their venom is not considered highly dangerous to humans, but bites can cause pain, swelling, and nausea.

Anyone know the name of this snake?
It has beautiful Adire pattern.

The snake in the image appears to be a White-spotted Slug Snake (Pareas margaritophorus), also commonly known as the Mountain Slug Snake.

Appearance: Small in size, typically reaching up to 47 cm, with a grey body featuring distinct black and white spots.

It's too late for the snake. I don't think any Nigerian will be checking for a snake's bio while it's curled up in their backyard

No one has been able to identify the snake

Your write up made it sound like the snake was just waiting to attack you but you didn't think that it was just on its own and felt threatened by a big human like you and wanted to defend itself.

Looks like Boulenger's garter snake

Let's learn together

Wealthyonos:
The Federal Government of Nigeria need to ban snakes from Nigeria.

With all due respect sir,which side of the mat did you wake up from?

I am sure they did not include any clause banning snakes of all forms and species in the amended electoral act. What are our senators doing?


Anyway, on your mandate...

Wolf snake. They are non venomous

This snake is not too potent sef, it's the Eastern gater snake, low venom potency. You have nothing to worry about from this guy's bite.

obagofizzy:
Amen
Imagine that the snake succeeded in biting the man
Omo e go bad ohhh

That is the eastern gater snake, if it had bitten the man he would not be in any danger. Eastern gater venom are generally not dangerous to human

Weather na Eastern or western, killing the snake is the best thing

Olu1000:
Farmin is really dangerous! At anytime , a snake can bite you & it could be fatal.

Just that farmers are not well taken care of in Nigeria. I’m sure outside countries they will be medical equipments in the farm in case of such occurrences before going to the hospital. But here if e bite them go use razor blade cut u tire 😂😂.

Most snakes that we kill are actually not venomous, some that are venomous are not really dangerous to humans — their venom don't pack enough toxins to kill a man.
I have a lot of them crawling around in my house, I don't kill them because they are not that dangerous and they help to curb pests like lizards and rats.

The thing about killing snakes— even if they're venomous enough to Kill a man, is that we lose the opportunity to extract their venom and create anti venom that would be used to treat those who are in need of it. Killing them create anti venom shortages which increases the risk of a patient not getting treatment.

The government should create agencies that rescues these snakes from Human populated areas and take them labs where their venom are extracted and used for anti venom and also for study.

If truly say Na devil send that snake, by now your leg for no remain.

Make una leave devil wey no do una anything alone #Justice4Devil

That snake sef does not pack enough toxins to be potent to humans. Had it been that the snake bit him, na just basic treatment he go need.

What people don't really understand is that all those '' local remedies " for snake bite works because the snake that bit them either has very low toxin or has no venom at all.
