Puff Adder removed from a wine estate in Stellenbosch.

“The Puff Adder is widespread over much of southern Africa and further north into Africa. It is a heavy-bodied snake that relies on its excellent camouflage and is reluctant to move. Much of its life is spent in camouflage mode and recent research has shown that when hiding, the Puff Adder will not hiss or strike when approached, as this would give away its presence.

It is an ambush hunter that will coil up into a striking position and await its prey. This can last several days or even weeks. Toads are lured closer with flicking of the tongue. Puff Adder venom is potently cytotoxic, causing severe pain, swelling, blistering and in many cases severe tissue damage. Polyvalent antivenom is effective.” ~ ASI

Releasing a beautiful Cape Cobra from Stellenbosch.

“This snake varies in colour from near black to dark or light brown, beige, yellow or speckled while juveniles have a dark band on the throat. The Cape Cobra is easily confused with the Mole Snake and the Black Spitting Cobra.

It is by far our most dangerous cobra and with the Black Mamba it accounts for the majority of fatal snake bites in South Africa. The Cape Cobra may stand its ground if threatened and is quick to form a hood and bite.

It occurs largely in the Cape provinces but extends into the Free State, Northwest, southern Botswana and Namibia. The venom is potently neurotoxic causing progressive weakness and may affect breathing rapidly. Victims need urgent hospitalisation and in a severe bite antivenom is essential.” ~ ASI

Two legends. Two deadly strike styles.
The Cape Cobra is fast and accurate, but the Puff Adder is on another level.

With explosive ambush power and insane acceleration, the Puff Adder is actually WAY faster than most people realize… and faster than the Cape Cobra over striking distance. 👀🐍

Puff Adder strikes immediately after being released. One of the fastest-striking snakes in the world. Never underestimated a Puffy.
