Did you read the complete story. He found the snake in his parlour. That's his parlour!

Biodun1929:
That's not my parlor madam. That's outside...on cemented floor where I kept the snake after killing it.

Captain6854:
see below

Biodun1929:
But are you sure it is a Boomslang? It is brown, and has some darker patches of brown in different parts of its body.

LordAzubuike:
Yeah Mr professor. I never knew boomslangs came in that kind of colour. I also never had an idea their eyes were like that.

Biodun1929:
Who knows the name of this snake? I killed it in my house this morning. It is very small...like the size of a long earthworm...I would say just about 10 inches long.

I stay in a 4 bedroom bungalow, and I left the living room empty, as I only use two out of the rooms in the house (I stay alone). So, this morning, I went out to buy something and as I walked in through the kitchen door and into the living room, I saw the thing staying still in the living room. (From the way it was positioned, I could tell it came in from the guest toilet). At first I thought it was dead, cos I keep a bottle with Sniper by the guest toilet. I thought maybe the thing affected it or so, and it died. I stood still myself and watched it. Next thing, I saw the head move slightly. I didn't want to leave its sight, so I grabbed a broom nearby and threw it at it. It hit it and it started struggling to move on the tiled floor and get towards the toilet...but it couldn't move well on the tile. I ran towards it and stamped it out a few times with my leg. It kept moving around. I picked up the broom and hit it on the head a couple of times till it stopped moving.

I won't lie, even though the snake was tiny I was a bit scared. After killing it, I cleaned my whole house within minutes. Lol. Thank God I don't have much in the house, so there is really no hiding place. After clearing every corner, I poured sniper in every corner and went out. I just came back, hoping to meet a dead snake or something, but I guess that snake was the only one that came in.

Why do you even have to reply him?

10000% sure that's a Boomslang, don't let the color fool you.. Boomslangs are different from other snakes when it comes to their sexes.
The male Boomslangs are usually bright colours ranging in different Green colours.
That's the male, Female Boomslangs on their other hand are Brown and dark in colour.
They're the only snakes you can different their sex by color.
Make your research, Don't just view Google's pictures, Read articles about em and you can even search Female Boomslang and Search Male Boomslangs afterwards

AroOkigbo:
You have poor knowledge about measurements.
A "10 inch" distance is less than a school children ruler. ..as in, less than a foot.

Ipsum:
Last picture gave it away! The eyes and shape of head..

Dear OP, you're a lucky man. I read where you even used your feet to stamp on it.

HOLY MOLLY!!!!!! THAT IS A BOOMSLANG!!!!!! You're a lucky man..

Biodun1929:
lol! They didn't waste time at all. In fact, they were more than that. I had to slam cutlass on them a few times, till some dispersed and I was able to take a clearer picture of the snake.

Juliearth:
This looks like a Rat snake. Rid your house of all Rats and you won't have to worry about sightings like this.

kiddoiLL:
Your Sarcasm in this situation is pointless, if you knew Boomslangs came in that color and the eyes, you won't tell people it's nonvenomous.. You think because it's not Green in colour it's not a Boomslang, maybe you should take your time to know the difference between the color of a female and male Boomslang

Biodun1929:
lol! I guess the camera angle made it look longer. Actually, I am 7 inches down there...that's how I was able to estimate how long the snake is from looking at it. It appeared just a few inches longer than my stuff.

toprealman:
Lol.....una no go kee me for nairaland.
Your camera actually played a trick here......was thinking it should be up to 25" at least

I just dey look you with one eye. Kontinu.

IamgratefulLord:
You should have stated it at the end of your story before posting that picture!!

joyfullyjoyous:
There's a plant that wards off snakes. If possible u may plant it in your compound as members of it's family may be close by.

DonMekino:
OP away from snake, are you in Lagos, am looking for accommodation, I can pay for a room in ur bungalow

LordAzubuike:
Oga this is not a boomslang. Boomslangs generally have a triangular shaped head. Be educated.
