Many-spotted Reed Snake (Amplorhinus multimaculatu

Many-spotted Reed Snake (Amplorhinus multimaculatus) - Mildly venomous.

A slow-moving somewhat secretive snake but locally common and may be mistaken for a Spotted Skaapsteker. Adults average around 40 cm, but may reach a length of 63 cm. This snake is often found in reed beds and riverine vegetation but also found in fynbos and montane grassland.

Like the Spotted Skaapsteker it is active during the day and will forage for food, preferring frogs, lizards and small rodents. If disturbed it may coil into a tight spring, like the slug-eater. Most individuals are brown to olive brown with light stripes down the body, but bright green individuals are also found. The venom of this snake is not considered dangerous to humans but may cause local swelling.

All our trainers are currently out conducting various corporate training sessions.

It is the responsibility of each corporate site to ensure the health and safety of employees while on-site. In areas where there is a risk of snake encounters, it is essential that staff receive proper training in snake awareness and response procedures. For remote locations, having trained snake handlers available on each shift can be a crucial safety measure.

For more information about on-site corporate training, please contact Michelle at courses@asiorg.co.za.

Beautiful Boomslang.

Boomslang are one of the most attractive African snakes, but they do posses a lethal hemotoxic venom. Luckily they are very docile snakes that avoid conflict and bites are not common.

Long-tailed Garter Snake (Elapsoidea sundevalii longicauda)

One of the larger Garter snakes that averages 50 cm but may reach 1 m in length. It is confined to the wetter central eastern parts of southern Africa and is active at night.

Juveniles have 17 – 20 buff bands on a darker background that fade with age. In adults the belly is white often with pink to orange on the sides. There may also be some orange on the snout.

Little is known about the venom of this snake, but bites are known to cause nausea, vomiting, pain, swelling and blurred vision. This snake may be able to inflict a serious bite.
