I killed this snake in my compound this night, can anyone identify this snake?

Python

laluski:

I feel you baba

Freemanbobble:
That is a python

It's not a Python..

Python's skins are not dusty..

It's a Viper..

Juliearth:
Its not venomous, its noxious.

It's not noxious, it's obnoxious

Do Thanksgiving,that thing is an adder,very lethal

Judybash93:
It's not poisonous... It's venomous

Yeah, brain malfunction. I simply forgot

that's a viper oo. Thank your stars you saw it first

Immediately i saw that line and zigzag, I knew it was a Gabon viper.


Look at the Triangular or V-shaped head, very venomous.



I had watched a moment where that kind of snake pretended to be dead, a bird came close to feed on it, it striked the bird immediately. The Gabon viper waited for like 1 minute for its venom to do the wonder by weakening the bird. The bird was shivering, and started to fall. After a minute and some seconds, the bird died. The Gabon viper grabbed it with its mouth to a safe place to consume.


Op, where da hell is your location in lagos, I couldn't believe this specie is found in Nigeria or it could be you live in the sub-hara.

mamaafrik:
hmmmm,thank you,but is it true that manumanu is deadly at night and docile during the day

It hides in the sand during the day but dangerous at any time as far as I remember.

Growing up with my grandparents, it was one snake they always want me about.

Zimmermann:
You ppl should stop all these indiscriminate and unprovoked killing of snakes! Pythons especially. They play very important roles in the ecosystem!

This isn't a Python.

This is the viper with the longest fangs filled with deadly venom and it can strike so fast with multiple bites.

I support the elimination of these kinds of snakes anytime they trespass into human settlement.

This snakes only role in trespassing into a human settlement is to claim lives of people and domestic animals.

No be python u go see, na Anaconda

Really

Modernist:

You might want to look up the meaning of noxious. Obnoxious is valid, but it doesn't apply in this context.

You didn't get the joke

Yes, I guess I didnt, My bad!

Definitely a gaboon viper, very dangerous snake. Similar morphorlogy and venom potency to the puff adder

Correct answer. Not many know such facts

SNAKE MATTER TOO MUCH FOR NAIRALAND! UNA NOR GET ANOTHER TOPIC TO CHAT.

ANYWAY CHAI TRENDY LEGGINGS STILL AVAILABLE AT GOOD PRICES

That is OKÁ in Yoruba language, gentle snake

NaijaOlosho:
I eat rich and yummy snacks

snacks? Ok olosho

SKhanmi:
That looks like a puff adder. Very poisonous thing. Can we get a better pic of the head

No it's a Gaboon viper and it's about 15years of old before been crushed by the OP

Stonecoldstare1:
That's definitely a viper... They are quite dangerous but really gentle in fact most don't attack unless threatened... Please look around for it's babies and fumigate

All snakes don't attack until they're threatened. but we've seen what Cobra and mamba can do

Wuzyurdaddy:
He has a valid point you know.

Imagine your kids growing up only to see snakes on photos and on TV alone kuz* people kept killing the ones we had.

it's not compulsory they see it, plus their own see can be a see of death plus we got Lotta zoo's around . so yeah kill all snakes wherever found

when i mean active i meant venomous because i once stepped on one at our farm,i was thicker thana tin of peak milk ,it only twisted and moved away and some people can carry it with bare hand and even around neck undead.

oka is cobra,cobras are polish black

That must be manumanu not paramole.

mamaafrik:

Which kind confusion be this na? Okà is NOT cobra. Cobra is sèbé in Yorùbá.

Una don start with your argument, which one is oka, paramole again? Some even turned mana mana to manumanu, manumanu ko menumenuni

Looks like a Gaboon Viper. Longest venom fangs.

Why did you kill it? You should have captured and release it into the wild! Nigerians always kill any wild animal they see, for no genuine reason!

That's why it is extremely hard to see wild animals in this useless "country" filled with id*iots!
