Boomslang (male)
One of Africas most deadly snakes, delivering a lethal dose of hemotoxin which fortunately is slow acting, therefore giving a human victim time to seek the anti-venom. Having said this, these are very shy snakes and will only bite if cornered of if you try to catch them. This little beauty I found in a tree on my driveway after investigating the commotion the birds were making. pretty awesome I think!
This one was quite small, roughly a metre long.
