The most Venomous Snake in Africa - by @mambaman
Photo by @mambaman
Africa's most venomous snake. Not to be confused with Africa's most dangerous snake - that title rightly belongs to the fearsome Black Mamba.
The Boomslang (African Tree Snake) - you need slightly less venom to kill a man than the Black Mamba but you are far less likely to be bitten by a Boomslang than a Black Mamba.
This Boomslang in the picture is bleeding as it was being attacked by a bird - a Grey Headed Shrike. This is quite ironic as the Boomslang includes birds in it's diet!
The Boomslangs other prey are lizards, chameleons in particular.
Boomslang come in various color variations:
Brown are often females
Green and black are often males

The also come in almost black.
Juveniles have the most interesting colouration.
There is nothing beautiful than nature
I'm very scared of snakes, so it's interesting to watch them only on the photo
Boomslag Snakes looks so beautiful but too much dangerous, I am also geel Scary from Snakes.
In the most cases snakes don't do anything to you. They are afraid too. But if they feel threatened they attack.
I follow you now :)

Boomslangs are really cute with large eyes, they shy away from people and strike only when provoked. They puff their necks to warn its victim. That even made me like them
You always hear about The Black Mamba, but I have never heard of the Boomslang snake. Its really an amazing looking creature with the the large throat area making it look quite different from other snakes I have seen.
