Oga I no dey do show biz ooooo..... I only catch or kill the ones that threaten my existence or that of the pets that I have and depending on who is around me then cos too much catch catch release fit give you a very diabolical name cos where I stay most people here are not exposed so well to wildlife issues.
Like I was talking with some boy this morning as I went to buy something, from his stories of when he was bitten by a snake, it is obvious he either got a dry bite or the snake wasn't venomous but the mamba I feared that may be here always give a good overdose of its neurotoxin and the boy didn't get the rubbery or metallic taste.
I will keep asking to know what snakes inhabit here.
Pit viper is here.

Please I hope am in no trouble cos am very scared of humans.

Mckandre:
maybe u should start keeping collections, its gonna be great though

MRBrownJ:
rattle snakes and mambas in Nigeria?! WTF!!!!! and here i was foolishly thinking that the Nigerian bushland was "free" from these deadly reptiles.

MRBrownJ:
is there any highly venomous snakes in 9ja? and if yes, in what specific part of the country? kai!!!
btw: i thought all venomous snakes had either the 2 fangs in the front to inject the venom OR were spitting it?

GogetterMD:
Now that's false. The venom is stored in a modified salivary gland and delivered through its fangs, it's not like there's venom flowing in every part of the snake

GogetterMD:
We sure have a lot of venomous species in Nigeria. Mambas, Vipers and cobras, rattle snakes etc. They are all around the country.
I also didn't notice the fangs in this snake of yours, it's either absent or extremely short

Mynd44:
Yes all have fangs whuch comes out when the mouth opens.

As that dude also typed, the pupils is round and not slitted so I am 98% sure it is non-vernomous.

And there are highly venomous snakes all over Naija. From cobras to rattle snakes, to mambas but none makes the top 5 venomous in the world though

Movingcoil:
I did lose my fear to animals a very long time ago...
Am more scared of what humans can do.

Movingcoil:
did you just say I ignorantly killed a non venomous snake?
This is a close up look for the fangs but I only saw those needle like like at the side of the mouth.

Mckandre:
that was my 2cent take it or leave it, I guess u ve no heard of killer reflexes.

Mynd44:
It is absent. If you look at the picture closely, there are small teeth which is similar to those owned by anacondas but no fingerprints
