Garden Route Snakes and Removals

A large female Puff adder safely relocated from a farm in Geelhoutoom.

Sometimes we don't often have time to change our clothes after work before responding to assist at a call out and just as was the case here I had to still climb onto a roof top to get this adult male Boomslang out of the hedge seen behind me in this video. While Boomslang are drop for drop the most venomous snake species on the continent, meaning you need much less venom from this guy to kill a person, it's just going to do it alot slower than some of our other deadly species. This species is very often reluctant to bite and it's usually us snake handlers or someone trying to harm this species that get bitten.
