The Puff Adder is widespread over much of South Africa and elsewhere further north into Africa. It is a heavy-bodied snake that relies on its excellent camouflage and is reluctant to move. Much of its life is spent in camouflage mode and recent research has shown that when hiding, the Puff Adder will not hiss or strike when approached, as this would give away its presence. It is an ambush hunter that will coil up into a striking position and await its prey. This can last several days or even wee

Puff adders Bitis arietans Highly venomous They say that puff adders are slow and lazy. Tell that to this little neoate that I released into the grass. They are ambush predictor, so that means they will in general sit still and depend on their camouflage to hide but, when the game is up and they decide to move, they can do it pretty fast.

The puff adder (Bitis arietans) is a common, highly venomous snake species found throughout much of Africa, including Kenya. It's known for its ability to puff up its body and emit a deep, low hiss as a warning, and it's one of the most common snakes in sub-Saharan Africa. Puff adders are mostly nocturnal and hunt by ambush, relying on camouflage for protection. They are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, rocky areas, and savannas. #enkajisafaris #tours #safari #snakes #wild #

The movement of a Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) often described as resembling that of a caterpillar due to its unique and distinctive locomotion style. When a Puff Adder moves, it utilizes a specialized form of movement called “rectilinear locomotion.” During rectilinear locomotion, the Puff Adder contracts and expands its body in a smooth, wave-like motion, allowing it to move forward without lifting its body off the ground. This movement is achieved by the snake pushing its belly scales against

The Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) bites more people in SubSaharan African then another snake! They are found from sea level up to 2200m altitude, sometimes even a bit higher. The distribution map for Kenya shows that it can be seen almost everywhere!! They are very well camouflaged and blend into their environment. They are also known to lay out on foot paths basking in the sun and they are active at night looking for prey. This is when allot of people are bitten. Unlike other snakes that will fle

UPDATE ON THE RESCUED PUFF ADDER • Scientific name: Bitis arietans The Puff Adder is doing very well and is moving around without any difficulties.

This video of a Snouted Cobra (Naja annulifera) killing a Puff Adder (Bitis arietans arietans) is doing the rounds on social media. Cobras, especially the Snouted Cobra and Cape Cobra (Naja nivea) are well known for eating Puff Adders and often get bitten in the process. They appear to be immune against the venom of other snakes and appear to suffer no ill effects after such bites. Source unknown. | African Snakebite Institute
