We live on a forested bank of the Blyde River, West of Hoedspruit. Boomslang, mamba and spitters seem to be the most commmon species, although we also see marbled tree snakes, brown house snakes, spotted bush snakes and other odds & ends. I'll post some pics under the appropriate sections.

What stunning photos of a stunning snake. My little daughter found one just like this many years ago in my Folks garden in the middle of Wartburg (KZN)! Those eyes are amazing.

Awesome!
My favourite local species.
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.
