Venomous Snakes

[epaiva]

The Gaboon viper is a viper species found in the rainforests and savannas of sub Saharan Africa.  Like all vipers, it is venomous. It is the largest member of the genus and it has the longest fangs – up to 2 inches in length (5 cm) – and the highest venom yield of any snake
Adults average 125–155 cm (4 to 5 feet) in total length with a maximum total length of 205 cm (81 in) for a specimen collected in Sierra_Leone. The sexes may be distinguished by the length of the teeth in relation to the total length of the body: approximately 12% for males and 6% for females. Adults, especially females, are very heavy and stout.
