During work hours today at work(dredging site),the sun got sk hot that i and my colleuges had to find a shelter to save us from the wrath of the sun.
Not so long after finding a perfect spot,we saw a big snake (Called Ajuala in igbo). It was resting after swallowing a fish.

With the hieght of hunger n our vex for the hot sun,we didnt hesitate before killing the snake (well u know the rest).

the snake looks like its related the python family but the head is different.
That is a Viper..

Had anyone of you been bitten by that Snake, na RIP sure pass.

You must be very lucky the poor snake was weighed down by what it swallowed. It would have sank its fangs into your calf and that would probably be it for you because of how deadly vipers venom are. Just a word of advice, next time you see a viper, mind your business and let the beautiful thing be. It wouldn't mind giving you a deadly kiss at the slightest provocation especially in the sun when snakes are hyperactive. Be warned these are not pythons

Scientific Name: Bitis gabonica
GABOON VIPER
The largest African viper, this snake has a striking coloration and pattern that nevertheless offers it camouflage.

The gaboon viper ( Bitis gabonica ) is considered to produce more venom than any other venomous snake.

A single adult male may have enough venom to inject lethal doses into 30 individual men. Not only do they produce more venom than any other snake but they also inject more deeply.

Although sluggish and docile by nature, Gaboons are unpredictable and capable of great speed in short bursts making them extremely dangerous
No those guys just ate one!

Are you serious, enough venom to kill 20men??.. i usually saw this snake in Okopedi and usually regard it as a slow, lazy and harmless snake.

@Spawnx... great info! @Op... consider yourself lucky the snake didn't attack. Question to ehmmm.... pepper soupers.... do you cook the head too? ... I am thinking that's where the venom. If you don't... do you bury the head? ...because stepping on the fang may get venom into your system. Lastly...@Op.... be on the lookout for more Gabon Vipers in the area... snakes usually be in pairs ...or more.Ha!...Gabon Viper swallowed a fish! grin...that was a good one!

I sincerely hope you people wee not kill finish all d snake in naija....
Snakes be wandering why una dey kill us sef gan...we not come ur house na,jejely we dey our cabal u still come kill us...
actually, i hope they kill them all, along with scorpions. Who told you snakes don't go to people's houses? You know how many stories i've heard of snakes sleeping alongside people, on the same pillow, and other forms of misbehavior?

Please, snake killers, do your best to eradicate these creatures for us.

Mr snake's advocate. please go and sit down. There is no snake under the sun that cannot or has not already been conquered by man. Even the deadly black mamba, who is "area fada" to the Gaboon Viper has been butchered for lunch over and over again.
