Brighter-Lights Posted October 8, 2009 Share Almost rode right over this big Puff Adder yesterday. One of the bigger ones I've encountered... very bright colours... and so early in the season in a forested area deep up a kloof where it hasn't been very hot at all...

Mackie Posted October 8, 2009 Share Those bliksems are responsible for the most snake deaths in Africa per annum. Mostly by people standing on them, they are quite lazy. You lucky to spot one like that, they are amazing creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighter-Lights Posted October 8, 2009 Share I also don't like snakes... A Puff Adder bit my father in the mountains in 2003 and it took months to heal... I frequently encounter snakes where I train... Adders and others and the odd Cape Cobra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
