1. Mozambique Spitting Cobra<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Mozambique](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mozambique-Spitting-Cobra.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe Mozambique Spitting Cobra is a huge threat to your visual sense if you come across the deceitful creature.\u00a0Mozambique Spitting Cobra will pretend to be dead just to shy away from confrontations, but will stealthily spit its venom with an accurate exactitude into its victim’s eyes which can cause impaired vision or blindness. The snake is proportionally small in size, and thin with an average length (adults) between\u00a090\u00a0cm – 105\u00a0cm. But can lift up to as much as two-thirds of its length when confronted. Mozambique Spitting Cobra feeds on other snakes, amphibians, birds, eggs, little mammals, and insects.<\/p>\n
2. The\u00a0Cape Cobra<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Cape](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cape-Cobra.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAlso known as the yellow cobra, yellow snake, brown or copper cobra, the snake is a quick-moving and alert species known to be more aggressive during its mating period. It strikes readily if it perceives an imminent danger. While the cape cobra strikes unhesitatingly when it intends to deter an attack, it sometimes when threatened or disturbed, rears its fore-body, opens out its broad hood and occasionally hisses loudly. The snake will quickly try to escape if the threat remains motionless but will assume its defensive posture if it notices any sign of movement. The cape is one of the most dangerous snakes around with a thick, syrupy potent venom that can cause death within an hour to ten hours after a bite.<\/p>\n
3. Gaboon Viper<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Gaboon_Viper\"](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gaboon_Viper.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe Gaboon Viper is known with other common names like “Butterfly Adder”, “Forest Puff Adder”, “Swampjack” and “Whisper”. The snake is not only crowned the largest member of its genus, but also the\u00a0heaviest\u00a0viperid of the world, with the\u00a0highest venom yield of any venomous snake, and the longest of all long pointed fangs in snakes for injecting venom.<\/p>\n
You’ll find horn-like features in a Gaboon Viper’s raised nostrils with heads that are triangular and rather large for the very tiny necks. Gaboon Vipers are slow-moving, docile, excessively sluggish and very tolerant snakes. They rarely bite or hiss even when handled. That, in any way, shouldn’t make you go about picking them up as they do bite at times, and are one of the fastest striking snakes in the world with bites that are potentially fatal as\u00a0each bite produces the largest quantities of venom of any venomous snake.<\/p>\n
4. The Puff Adder<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Puff](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Puff-Adder.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBitis arietans otherwise called “Puff Adder”, “African Puff Adder” of “Common Puff Adder” got the “arietans” from the Latin word “arieto” referring to “striking violently”. The snakes are said to be responsible for most of the snakebite fatalities in Africa as they are widely distributed, aggressive, produces a large amount of potent venom, have long fangs and are fond of staying quietly on footpaths, and wouldn’t move out even when approached.<\/p>\n
These deadly snakes usually, adopt a tightly coiled defensive posture and hiss continuously loud when disturbed. Also, they may choose to back away from the threat toward a cover and may decide to strike suddenly at a high unexpected speed even to the side, and again take on the defensive posture to strike again.<\/p>\n
5. Boomslang<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"boomslang\"](\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boomslang.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThese deadly snakes are reported as native snakes restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Generally regarded as a shy and a timid sort, Boomslangs are said to bite when people attempt to handle, catch or kill them. The venom of the snake is slow acting as the symptoms are oftentimes not recognized until many hours after a bite. Consequently, victims find no reason to take the bite serious, believing the injury is not life-threatening which usually deters immediate treatment. Boomslang\u00a0means “tree snake”.<\/p>\n
