BOOMSLANG

Assalamualaikum J

Do you love snakes?

Don’t mess with the elephant if they had warn you.

If you do, we are sharing the same interest! I love snakes due to their many types of skin design. I love to see it and can nicely touch it.

We have heard many news about people been bite by snakes due to mess with the snakes. And something due to the surprise of the human present, snakes will attack humans immediately without any warning.

But, there is a type of snakes that does not like to be seen by people. And human are not their prey. They will only attack human, if that humans still want to mess with them after they give warning to them. When appear in front of humans, if you blink your eyes, the snake will already disappear. This shown how shy it is and how it doesn’t like to be seen.

The warning that they will give by puffed up its head and looks abnormal. When you see the snake did this, just to be clear that you need to stay back or more powerful you could just run! Your present will not get nice greeting.

If want to save your life, alert with their warning. They don’t want to have mess with you.

However, boomslang has nice skin colour and that interact people want to see it. For females, it will be just brown while for males, it will be gray, green, black or yellow and pinkish-red also had been seen before. For young, usually gray or brown with dark and light spots of bluish hue, and a yellowish or pinkish underbelly with varying shades of brown spots.

Why do they attack humans?

Boomslang attack human that usually take them with. at the beginning when they meet, boomslang will give warning to make humans don’t come closer to them, but if they refuse, they will attack humans by bite and release their secret and dangerous weapon which is their poison venom which is possessing haemotoxic venom which prevents the blood from clotting.

What happen to humans after been bitten by boomslang

This snake is a rare snake that does not attack or eat humans. The boomslang spends its days up in the trees, only hunting for lizards, frogs, chameleons, mice and birds. If they meet something that they cannot swallow it, they will immediately disappear. It is super shy and non-aggressive species.

For many years, it was believed that this species was harmless, but world-renowned herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt learned the hard way that this snake is, in fact, badass. Back in 1957, whilst examining a young boomslang, Schmidt was bitten on the thumb. After one day been bite, he was found died in his house.

Boomslang are rarely bite humans and for today, all 10 cases been reported for this snake’s bite around the world and boomslang ranks as one of Africa's most venomous snakes.

So, this has been proven that there are an animal that does not mean to harm but humans make them harm.
