Mr X Posted October 22, 2015 Share Sometimes when you play with it too long it gets all puffy. No it gets docile if you play with it too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ84 Posted October 22, 2015 Share I said the bite is worse. As for the snake chasing you it is crap scary but the puffy lies in the path camoed so unseen and does not move except for the strike. Puffys get more fatalities in Africa than any other snake and is competing with the hyppo as number 1 dangerous animal. http://www.chiropractic-help.com/images/Puffadder-bite-forearm.jpgThe Puffy has more bites due to there being a **** load more of them, thats why it has more deaths/cases. Have been with my cousin when he was bit by a mamba and he has been bit by a puffy as well, guarantee he would take a bite from the Puff Adder 100 times before the Black Mamba again.

I thought the neuro toxins was like a bad lsd trip. Look at that pic, that is what a proper puffy bite can do, it will disolve your mucles never to fully recover.

Eddy Gordo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Snake bites or rather some poisens are hectic on muscles. However a mamba is not a snake you want to encounter. They are always pissed off. Has anyone seen a Mamba standing tall? Edited October 22, 2015 by Eddy Gordo Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ84 Posted October 22, 2015 Share When he was about 20 he got bit on his lower calf by a Puff Adder, never really recovered and he got gangrene from this. Not sure where or how this happened. A good 15 years later we were hunting and he more than likely stepped on the black mamba and it bit him in a very similar spot to the Puff Adder, it took an hour to get him to hospital but the slow circulation probably saved him. He was in ICU for 1-2 weeks, cant remember now. This was about 15 years ago as well. I was close to him (within 5 meters) at a young fit and healthy 16, if it bit me i probably would have died.

KarlvN Posted October 22, 2015 Share I came across this chap crossing the road at the quarry by Contermanskloof early June. Some a-hole in an Audi actually swerved and rode over it. If you look closely you will see damage to the neck just behind the head. I could not believe my eyes. People are such dicks sometime. edit _ removed double pic post Edited October 22, 2015 by KarlvN Gen, BrandonF_ and Suidwes Boytjie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen a Mamba standing tall?Years ago I was killing time waiting for my flight back to Lanseria from Matimba Powerstaion.Driving along the road to the Botswana border I came across a Mamba crossing the road.I stopped to look at him with the Rassies Care hire Golf window open.The snake turned around stood up and made a beeline for me.That was the fastest I have closed a window and accelerated away at the same time.He or she's head was level with mine Edited October 22, 2015 by Kranswurm Gen, Lexx, HowardSteele and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do with a decoy . . . Edited October 22, 2015 by Bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
