How Do You Identify Snakes In Africa?
Africa has many kinds of snakes that are venomous and aggressive, along with those that aren’t. They come in all sizes and colors and live in various areas of Africa. They’re rather easy to identify, and for the most part it’s best to stay away from all of them. If they feel threatened, they will bite–whether they can kill you with their venom or not. Look in the desert areas of Africa. The death adder snake, which lives in the desert, can paralyze with its venom; this bite can cause death if not treated immediately. Death adders are short, with thicker bodies than most snakes in Africa and a triangle-shaped head. Their eyes, with vertical pupils, make them appear extra threatening. Death adders are bright-colored snakes with a yellow body and orange stripes. Notice the snakes in the tropical areas of Africa, such as eastern Kenya. Two snakes that live in these areas are the gaboon viper and green mamba. The gaboon viper can grow near 2 meters long. It can kill its prey with its venom
