Venom not poison and it has to be injected into the bloodstream to affect you not ingesting it through the mouth into the stomach.

SonofLincoln:
Seriously, is hunger that bad in Nigeria for people eating snakes, dogs and cats and other animals that are foreign to our eating habits.

Skepticus:


If the venom of they "unharmful python" enter your blood system, if you survive above 25 minutes, then God specially came down to save you.

Rgade:

The snake is very docile and lazy.
They will never strike unless you come within centimeters of them.
They are however very venomous.

I thought Gaboon vipers hardly bite and isn't deadly?

FunkyAlhaji2015:


Gaboon viper is extremely poisonous but it rarely bites because its very lazy. One can step on it and not get biten.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Rgade:

You can under rate a king Cobra but don't put the Mamba and "just" in the same sentence
The Mamba is aggressive but he certainly doesn't bluff.
The Mamba's venom kills in minutes bro,and they strike so many times they ensure that time is reduced even further

During the day, you can come near/around them or even step on them. They won’t bite. They hardly bite during sunlight but can become aggressive easily during the night/dark.

I’ve once captured the snake some years ago while in the bush. I’m actually doing my IT & I was using that specific area of land for a research. Before I got to know that a snake was beside me, I was beside it for more than 45mins. The snake was under a big leaf with it head wrapped in around its body. The snake can hide dang!!

An old man/farmer was farming not too far from me. Told me some uses of the snake(Herbal ways...)... I’m tired of typing lol

I didn't say the most poisonous; I said the most venomous land snake. You can check up on it.

The Gaboon viper is one of the deadliest snakes in the world--a sluggish, thick-bodied serpent whose venom, injected through 1 1/2-inch fangs, kills an untreated victim within minutes.



Not as deadly as Buhari tho

brainhgeek:


bros, if you have ever been close to a victim of its venom you will run away even from belt or sandal made from a gaboon viper's skin

the inland taipan is the most venomous land snake on Earth but it hardly/ rarely bite.

The king Cobra and mamba are just aggressive thugs.
