Hey Guys,
I finally "found" a little beauty. While looking in the forest for bush pigs at night, I got a phone call saying that there was a big snake on the road on campus (close by the rugby pitch) and I should come and have a look. I arrived there and found that beautiful
Bitis arietans (Puff adder) crossing the road. I can't believe how beautiful the south african phase is...
Anyway I had nothing else than a golf club to catch it (I really have to make myself or buy a proper hook), so I caught it and kept it for the night for a photo session the next day and released it further in the forest so hopefully she won't come back and get killed by cars or peoples...
It was a beautiful female, about a 70 cm long, found around 10h30 pm at quiet a warm night.
Here are a few pictures
Hidden ?
Hope you enjoyed
Sfourie, As long as its indigenous I'm cool happy about seeing new things from the area... It's often motivating to see "what can be seen" if you know what I mean.
Regards.
