Well I beg to differ. Puffy i'm not so scared of because it wont moves or chase you. But a Black Mamba will Chase after you if you are in his Territory and it will strike Multiple times in a blink of an eye. 

 

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.

True. Ask my wife. She was chased by Black Mamba whilst cycling...

Got chased by a Black Mamba on Sabie River Bungalows golf course. Sh@t myself.

Fortunately the toilet is nearby. . Cause I would bek@k myself.

 

Sorry for the language. . But there is no alternative wording to describe it accurately

I almost rode over a Cape Cobra last year this time in Bottelary Hills. Shat myself!

Sadly the snake was killed. It was a Geelslang at the end of the single track named after it.

Where's that cycle lane?

 

Tableview, along the R27 between Parklands Link and Sandown Rd. And judging by the speckled belly it looks like a Cape Cobra.

Sometimes when you play with it too long it gets all puffy.

Note to self.
