Training in Sasolburg today with delegates from the agricultural sector, focusing on snake awareness, identification, and safety.

The snake pictured is a Rinkhals (Hemachatus haemachatus), a highly defensive venomous snake found in parts of southern Africa. Understanding how to identify and safely respond to snakes is an important part of working safely in agricultural environments, where encounters are more likely.

A valuable day of learning, sharing knowledge, and promoting safer practices in the agricultural sector.

A young Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) from Hoedspruit, Limpopo. In southern Africa, Black Mambas typically hatch around February and measure between 40–60 cm at birth.

A large banded Snouted Cobra (Naja annulifera). Ba

A large banded Snouted Cobra (Naja annulifera). Banded individuals are not that common and most of them are males.
This snake use to be called the Egyptian Cobra as it was a subspecies of the Egyptian Cobra (Naja haje annulifera) but was elevated to full species by Don Broadley in 1995 and the common name was changed to Snouted Cobra.
It is one of the largest cobras in Southern Africa, reaching a length of around 2,5 m. Though highly venomous it seldom accounts for bites on humans, but is often removed from fowl runs.

Fangs of a Twig or Vine Snake (Thelotornis capensi

Fangs of a Twig or Vine Snake (Thelotornis capensis capensis) from Hluhluwe, KZN. Note how far back in the mouth the fangs are situated. This is a highly venomous snake but rarely bites. There is no antivenom for a bite from a Vine Snake and no fatal bites recorded in South Africa. A few fatalities elsewhere have been documented. Despite the fangs being far back in the mouth, the Vine Snake can open its mouth wide and bite easily.

First Aid for Snakebite. A comprehensive 28-page

First Aid for Snakebite.

A comprehensive 28-page booklet covering essential first aid for snakebite emergencies, including what to do — and what not to do — following a snakebite.

The booklet covers pressure immobilisation, artificial respiration and the use of a bag-valve mask, as well as what to do if venom enters the eyes. It also includes a symptom-based flowchart to guide appropriate action when different symptoms develop following a snakebite.

A dedicated section provides first aid guidance for snakebite in pets.
