RE: The Green Mamba - One of South Africa's Deadly Dozen Snakes
Reading your posts, one gets a feeling there are venomous snakes all over the place in South Africa. 😮 How often would you say an average citizen of South Africa comes across a venomous 🐍? Would that be a couple of times a year or on a daily basis? It probably depends on whether they live in the urban or rural area...
Most people might only see a few snakes in the wild in a life time. The snakes are generally very shy and keep out of our way. Daily we have people calling us with snakes in their garden or house, for most of the calls that we get, it is the first time the person has seen a snake in a while
Interesting. That's even fewer than I see then. 😉 Especially in spring when they start appearing after winter hibernation, I'd see them quite regularly. But unlike South Africa, we only have 4 species of snakes living here only one of which is venomous (and I doubt its bite would be fatal for an average adult).
