Western Yellow-bellied Sand Snake (Psammophis subt

Western Yellow-bellied Sand Snake (Psammophis subtaeniatus)

A fast-moving, slender snake that averages 70 cm – 1 m. This snake is active during the day and is without doubt one of our fastest snakes. It is fond of basking but will move off rapidly and if there is a shrub or tree close by it may climb to avoid detection. Like some of the other snakes in the genus Psammophis, it will spin if caught by the tail and snap a piece off.

Sand snakes, Grass snakes and Skaapstekers can be very difficult to distinguish from one another – always check the distribution when attempting to identify one of these snakes.

The Western Yellow-bellied Sand snake feeds on lizards, frogs, rodents, small birds and other snakes.

The venom of this snake is very mild and has no real effect on humans.

Green Water Snake (Philothamnus hoplogaster)

A smallish bright green snake that averages 60 cm in length with a maximum length of 1 m. It is day-active and favours damp localities such as reed swamps, riverine thickets and flood plains where it feeds mainly on frogs. It also eats fish, small lizards and juveniles reportedly eat grasshoppers. Like the harmless Natal Green snakes it is often mistaken for a Green Mamba and needlessly killed.

Most individuals are bright emerald green with a whitish belly but some, especially further north, have a few blackish bars behind the head.

At night it sleeps on the outer edges of vegetation where it will drop to the ground to escape if threatened. It is an excellent swimmer.

This snake is not venomous and completely harmless to humans.
