Eastern Green Mamba.

Mean green and packs a combination of neurotoxins (dendrotoxins), cardiotoxins, calcicludine, and fasciculins......wicked and evil. Exclusive to the eastern costal parts of Africa sha....good for us.

Saw-Scaled Viper/Carpet Viper (Echis genus)
This monster is usually out after dark, which is when most of its hapless human victims have been bitten. In Africa it mostly inhabits dry or savanna regions north of the equator, but the eight saw-scaled viper species are found as far across the globe as Sri Lanka. Dry-looking and the color of dirt, their scales rub together to produce a sizzling or sawing sound, hence the name. They’re also categorized as sidewinders for their sideways motion. They move slowly, but can strike quickly, and their sour temper coupled with quick-acting venom has not fared well for some folks.

www.thefreedictionary.com/diabolical
di·a·bol·i·cal also di·a·bol·ic (-ĭk). adj. 1. Of, concerning, or characteristic of the devil; satanic. 2. Appropriate to a devil, especially in degree of wickedness

They are diabolical. They are creepy. They are crawly. They are pure evil. They are devilish. Just like APC.

The Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis)
Let’s start with its neurotoxic venom: it attacks the nervous system, reducing the ability to see, smell, move, and breathe. It’s the most aggressive snake in Africa and the fastest (it can run after you at 12 miles per hour or 20 kilometers per hour). It’s the largest of the continent’s venomous snakes (up to eight feet or 2.5 meters in length), and its venom is strong enough to kill up to a dozen people in an hour. This is because the black mamba can strike up to 12 times in a row, pumping venom into one or multiple victims each time. Sub-Saharan Africans know to watch themselves, to watch the trees above, and to tread lightly on the ground. #Kingofthejungle

This one is very common in Gujba, in Yobe State, where i did my NYSC. True, it moves at Night. I killed at least 2 while i was there.

Take the Boomslang off this list abeg. The venom it produces might be Haemotoxin but it is a "Slow poison" not so deadly

"a lot of things can kill you in Africa, an elephant can kill you, a leopard can kill you, or a mamba can kill you, but it is only with a mamba that death is a certainty
