Where do you guys learn all these very wrong misinformation? And you are even bold to be reiterating it with confidence.

Some ignorant ones will readily swallow this fallacy hook and sinker

Don't be confused, maybe


Don’t get me wrong, Puffies (as they are commonly known) are dangerous. They are a member of the Viper family, therefore they are venomous, NOT poisonous! This is a very common misunderstanding but there is no such thing as a poisonous snake or a poisonous spider or really anything similar to this. Poison is something that you ingest such as a plant or insect of some kind, so if you eat it, you would get sick. Snakes, such as Puff Adders, are venomous, along with spiders and scorpions which means that they can inject you with their fangs (for snakes and spiders) or their stinger at the end of their tail (scorpions). Not all snakes are venomous, most don’t have any venom and are called constrictors, the biggest of which in Africa is the Rock Python. The Puffy, however, does have venom and could give you a nasty bite but, they will do everything in their power to stay well clear of you. Even if found, it will do everything it can to get away or, try and stay hidden in the vegetation.

Most snakes re venomous while some re equally poisonous when eaten. I.e, they upload toxins when u eat them. Like the Garter snake is toxic to eat because it's body absorbs nd stores the toxins of its prey.

---

PARTIALLY YES

---

Garter snakes were long thought to be non-venomous but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed that they in fact produce a neurotoxic venom. Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce and they also lack an effective means of delivering it. In a few cases some swelling and bruising have been reported. They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouth but their gums are significantly larger and the secretions of their Duvernoy's gland are only mildly toxic.

This is why I said your theory is partially true

---

Evidence suggests that garter snake and newt populations share an evolutionary link in their levels of tetrodotoxin resistance, implying co-evolution between predator and prey.
Garter snakes feeding on toxic newts can also retain those toxins in their liver for weeks, making those snakes poisonous as well as venomous


Garter snake is a common name for generally harmless, small to medium-sized snakes belonging to the genus Thamnophis in the family Colubridae. Native to North and Central America, species in the genus Thamnophis, can be found from the subarctic plains of Canada to Costa Rica.

---

The first garter snake to be scientifically described was the eastern garter snake (now Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis).
The genus Thamnophis was given in 1843 as the genus for the garter snakes and ribbon snakes. Many snakes previously identified as their own genera or species have been reclassified as species or subspecies in Thamnophis. There are currently 35 species in the genus, with several subspecies in some of them.

---

Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms (nightcrawlers, as red wigglers are toxic to garter snakes), leeches, lizards, amphibians (including frog eggs), minnows, and rodents. When living near water they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses. Food is swallowed whole. Garter snakes often adapt to eating whatever they can find and whenever they can find it because food can be either scarce or abundant. Although they feed mostly on live animals they will sometimes eat eggs.

Dybala11:
My apologies, wrongly quoted you instead of the MARKone.

I got scared at how can I make such ridiculous claim, it is very
preposterous to think so.



No Problem, we are all here to learn.

Dybala11:

I think I read it somewhere on the internet that Puff adders are venomous vipers.

All vipers are venomous and have long, hinged fangs.
Their fangs are known to be extreme fangs, which are long, hollow, hinged and rotatable, These fangs connect to venom glands located behind the eyes at the back upper part of the jaw. Venom travels down through the follow teeth to be injected into prey as the viper bites.

Vipers can rotate their fangs together or independently, which allows them to wait until the last second to erect their fangs. Their mouths can open nearly 180 degrees so the ability to rotate their fangs within that space is an advantage. When not in use, vipers’ hinged fangs fold up and lie against the roof of the snake’s mouth. This allows their fangs to grow relatively long.

Fortunately for humans in some cases, Vipers can extend their fangs and bite without injecting venom. This is known as a dry bite and is common in human snakebites. Dry bites enable vipers to conserve their previous venom, which can run out and takes a while to replenish.

Viers have a speedy strike. For example, Africa's puff adder can strike at a speed of a quarter of a second but their perceived sluggishness impacts their hunting tactics.

Most vipers are ambush predators, they detect where prey is most likely to be through heat or chemical means and just wait. Pit vipers can detect prey based on thermal signatures. These snakes have specialized heat pits on their head that are sensitive to changes in heat in their environments. The pits allow them to hone in on an animal's body heat, even in complete darkness. Other snakes, such as boas and pythons, have small multiple pits located under the scales of their lips that are sensitive to changes in temperature as well.

Snakes receive information about their surroundings by interpreting chemical signals given off by potential prey. Snakes are able to "smell" their prey by picking up chemical information with their tongues. When a snake flicks its tongue in and out, it can detect its prey's scent trail. Chemical detection is one of the first steps snakes employ in locating prey.

Other methods they use while hunting for prey are through vibration as their ear does not hear sound in the normal way and Vision and Movement Detection. Because they're not expending a lot of energy, low resting metabolic rate, and eat large things. When their prey is dead, they swallow it whole.

Vipers engage in a hunting activity called prey relocation, this means that once they have identified their prey, they strike it and inject venom. They then immediately release the prey so that it cannot bite back. The bitten prey wanders off, dies and the viper uses its sense of smell to find it.

The severity of a viper bite depends on the species and if it was a wet or dry bite, which contains no venom. European vipers (adders) have relatively moderate venom that is not highly lethal, while Gaboon vipers, which are found in sub-Saharan Africa, have highly potent venom.

Vipers in general tend to have enzymetic venom that affects general tissues, It causes intense swelling, pain and necrosis, which is cell death and decay. It also functions as an anticoagulant. Death usually occurs from a dramatic collapse in blood pressure. All viper bites should be treated seriously and medical attention should be paid.

In addition to killing prey and injuring predators, viper venom helps vipers digest their food. Since they swallow their prey whole, digesting it is a big job not helped by vipers' generally inefficient digestive systems. The venom breaks down lipids, acids and proteins in the prey during the digestive process.

Most vipers are ovoviviparous, that means the eggs are fertilise and incubate inside the mother and she gives birth to live young, but that is not true of some basal Asian pit vipers.
All New World pit vipers except the bushmaster viper have live birth. The Bushmaster viper has re-evolved egg laying."
Vipers' mating season, activities and egg incubation time depends on the species.

Thank you.

Some snakes re poisonous. Do a little research on Garter snake.

What are you calling poisonous?
Is it the venom?

Dybala11:
Please read through the article you posted, nowhere was it written there that the venoms of snakes are in their blood. My claims that the venoms of snakes are produced and stored in a special gland still stands. Or have you lost your ability to read and comprehend??

May the sweppes am taking is highing me.


My main argument is that no snake is poisonous that if it were poisonous it wouldn't be edible.

I really don't under your angle of argument at all.

But if it is okay, there is no way and place I can say that snakes carry venom in their blood, I've never thought of that in my life.
Every body knows it is stored in a modified type of salivary glands under their upper jaw, the organ is muscular because when venom is to be delivered the organ is compressed to push out some venom.

Dybala11:
Why not look to get educated instead of making such assumptions?? Have you been bitten by a venomous snake before??
I've been bitten by one before, that was years ago while I was still in Secondary school. There is a gland where the venoms are stored.
Have you ever heard or seen a scenario where a snake bit itself to death before??

I will refer you to these two resources but there are other tons of these articles littered with google search.

Safety Measures For Cooking Delicious Snake Pepper Soup

Yesterday we caught big Puff Addy snake and used it for pepper soup. ( SEE PREVIOUS THREAD
https://www.nairaland.com/6923837/first-time-killing-eating-snake) To be candid, it was my first of eating snake and I thought I will die but guess what ? I woke up very healthy and even stronger with nourishing skin.

Well after my Junior brother finished preparing the snake meat I begged him to list the Measures which he just did and I thought it wise to share it to my fellow Nairalanders.

Preparing snake especially poisonous ones like Puff Addy required skills else you may end up poisoning your self lol...

Firstly, when hunting for snake like Puff Addy, target the head and avoid the tail from touching u.

Secondly, after a successful hunting, cut off the head and the tails before roasting it. The poisonous venom of Puff Addy is in the head and the tails, if you didn't cut it off the venom may spill to the body and you may end up getting yourself killed.

Thirdly, it is very pertinent to roast the snake before cutting it open because if it is pregnant the little ones may bite you, roasting it will kill whatever may be inside of it.
Fourthly, remove all the instestines although some people do eat it but it safe to remove it. Aftrr slicing it to your taste, use Maggie,salt,saint leaves, spicity, ginger and add enough pepper to it.

Finally, it is safe to prepare and eat snake if only you have done it before. Don't just assume you can do it, always seek for help of snake eaters if you cut any or you follow this guidelines I listed above. Snake meat is best when you eat with your family,friends and loved ones. I can't wait to eat another snake.

I keep telling you guys that no snake is poisonous , if it is you won't be able to eat it.

Na poisonous snake like this dem kill like rat??

Snakes aren't having it good in Nigeria at all. No matter how big or poisonous they are, they always end up in the pot when they meet a Nigerian.

No snake is poisonous dude, if it were poisonous it wouldn't be edible. That puff adder is said to be venomous and the venom is used to kill their prey for food or for defense mechanism.

In the context of what you were saying, snakes can either be venomous or nonvenomous and in this case are constrictors.

Examples of venomous snakes are the vipers, elapids, etc and the constrictors are python, anacondas, king snakes, etc

How can my fellow human being be saying that snakes such as the puff adder has venom in the tail; who is telling you guys all these please?

Buhari and results should be like poles of a molybdenum nickel bar magnet.
Although the article said its for the north.
You can't control the weather? yes, but you can circumvent that limitation, how is the north able to supply fresh vegetables all year round? One of them is the irrigation system which is very cheap if not our vegetables will be seasonal.
The north has the landmass, use it for growing hay and pasture for your cattle.
You'll eliminate the stress of walking these animals to death on long distances.
You are at a lesser risk of security risk.
You northerners I heard you rear and sell goats too, I've never heard of the goat grazing shepherd by a herder.
This idea is very safe and cheaper but these guys carry another intention.

RagnarLothbrok:
I once chilled with a friend of mine at his village fir holiday. I warmed soup in his kitchen, added knorr cube, onions and a little palm oil. So, we both sat down to enjoy this sumptuous meal. 2 hours later, he began to foam in the mouth and took ill. Fortunately, his dad came visiting and saved the day. Till this day, I wonder what would have happened to me if that young man had died int the process. Of course, I could never dream of poisoning a soul but, what happened remains a mystery to me till this day.

Maybe the dad knows his boy have been having epilepsy from birth injury. It gets activated by stress.
Another angle is seizure caused by some drug overdose.
