Lowland Swamp Viper

Home is behind the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade

I do, yes. But I don't like uploading 37464352464526238436 pics. Some people that want to see have slow connection speeds and struggle to do so.

Nice shot, and what a great looking snake. What is a bite from this species like? If you had to compare it to one of the other adder species from SA, which would it be?

Nasty nasty nasty. The venom of these guys are no joke, I read a report once, Id easily put them ahead of all the dwarf Bitis.

My buddy got bitten twice by this species and the first one was not a big deal although when my male tagged him he did have trouble breathing after a few hours and reasonable swelling and pain.
