The photograph of a Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polyl

The photograph of a Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) with a light-coloured mouth resulted in several comments, some of them questioning the identity of the snake saying that it is a cobra and others accusing me of lying. It is actually not a rare occurrence and over the past 45 years I have seen a few Black Mambas with light mouths as well as Green Mambas (Dendroaspis angusticeps) with blackish mouths. Herewith a full-body photograph of the Black Mamba in question, taken 15 years ago in Limpopo. Questions and constructive comments are welcomed while those posting offensive comments will be removed from this page.

Our recently launched ASI Elite Snake Tongs have b

Our recently launched ASI Elite Snake Tongs have been exceptionally well received — and we’re currently snowed under with orders.

Proudly manufactured in South Africa, these tongs are in a league of their own and simply cannot be compared to cheap Chinese imports. Weighing close to half that of traditional aluminium snake tongs, they offer a major advancement in both design and performance.

This is not just another snake tong. It’s the first major redesign of a tool that has remained virtually unchanged for over 60 years — bringing modern innovation to one of the most trusted tools in snake handling.

Engineered for professionals who demand the best, the ASI Elite Snake Tong is the lightest snake tong on the market, reducing fatigue and providing greater control during every capture.

Manufactured from a precision-engineered nylon-glass composite, it delivers exceptional strength, durability, and performance while remaining significantly lighter than traditional aluminium tongs. After 12 months of rigorous field testing, every detail has been refined to ensure reliability when it matters most.

Lighter. Stronger. Smarter.

The future of snake handling has arrived with the ASI Elite Snake Tong.

We’re offering a 50% discount to past ASI course delegates and snake removers listed on the ASI Snakes app.
(Valid for May 2026 | Limited to 1 tong per customer)

On the Kokerboom Biological Research Station in Na

On the Kokerboom Biological Research Station in Namaqualand and like most of the country we have had far more rain than normal. Roads are washed away and large dams have formed in arid areas. Fortunately, and thanks to our sponsors, the ASI vehicles are geared for the worst conditions possible with Tough Dog suspensions, Takla seat covers, Bushtech canopies and LightForce spots. Still need to fit our Front Runner roof racks and Opposite Lock Bullbar.

The Gaboon Adder (Bitis gabonica) from northern Kw

The Gaboon Adder (Bitis gabonica) from northern KwaZulu-Natal is a large, heavily built snake, perfectly camouflaged among coastal leaf litter. It can remain completely motionless for days, waiting patiently for small mammals or birds to come within striking distance. They are highly venomous, but bites are rare.

A highly venomous Black Spitting Cobra (Naja nigri

A highly venomous Black Spitting Cobra (Naja nigricincta woodi) from Namaqualand. These large, striking cobras are typically shy and will quickly retreat into rock crevices or hollow trees when disturbed. However, if cornered or threatened, they raise an impressive hood and can accurately spray venom toward the eyes. Venom in the eyes causes intense pain and should be rinsed immediately with copious amounts of water. It is advisable the victim visits a clinic for further treatment.
