With a venom yield of up to 600 mg (double that of a Puff Adder) and fangs that can exceed 4 cm in length, the Gaboon Adder (Bitis gabonica) is highly venomous. In South Africa it occurs from Mtunzini northwards along the coast in northern KZN. Fortunately no bites from this snake have been documented, patially because it is not commonly encountered and its reluctance to bite. If encountered it will inflate its body, turn the head sideways and hiss loudly. Gaboon Adder venom is largely cytotoxic but, loke the Puff Adder, also contains haemotoxins.

Another 35 delegates trained in safe snake removal

Another 35 delegates trained in safe snake removal 👌 And our final Snake Awareness, First aid for Snakebite and Venomous Snake Handling course for 2025!

We've had a super busy year, both on the corporate side and our public courses, and have trained thousands of delegates this year.

A word of thanks to our dedicated team, who always go above and beyond. And to our clients and avid supporters who help us spread snake education far and wide.

(The snake in the photo is a Rinkhals)

Black Mambas (Dendroaspis polylepis) are impressiv

Black Mambas (Dendroaspis polylepis) are impressive in both size and agility. In this video, an adult mamba demonstrates its remarkable climbing ability, lifting nearly a third of its body off the ground.

While they can raise themselves to gain height, tales of mambas “standing up” to meet someone eye-to-eye or striking people on the chest or head are simply myths.

Yes, this is a real snake and the video is not AI generated. Our team works with highly venomous snakes on a daily basis, and we are the leading snake awareness, first aid for snakebite and venomous snake handling training provider in Africa. The person taking the video (one of our trainers) was never in any danger.
