Well done... but I have to ask how you got the B.inornata habitat right? Did I show you the photos? No 3 is a bit far out though... So here's the list of shots with some of their reptiles:
1 Swartberg Pass - Red adder (B.rubida), Puff adder (B.arientans), Red-sided skink (T.homalocephala), etc
2 Namaqua NATIONAL PARK - Black spitting cobra (N.nigricincta), Many-horned adder (B.cornuta),Puff adder (B.arientans), Beetz's Tiger snake (T.beetzi), etc
3 Augrabies NATIONAL PARK - Black spitting cobra (N.nigricincta), Horned adder (B.caudalis), supposedly Desert mountain adder (B.xeropaga), etc
4 Compassberg - This is the highest point in SA outside the Drakensberg mountain range - Cape Cobra (N.nivea), Puff adder (B.arientans), supposedly Plain mountain adder (B.inornata), etc
5 Kosi Bay NATURE RESERVE- Gaboon adder (B.gabonica), Green mamba (D.angusticeps), Forest Cobra (N.melanoleuca), etc
6 Gauteng Highlands - Rinkhals (H.hemachatus)
7 Lephalale - Black mamba (D.polylepis), Moz. spitting cobra (N.mossambica), Snouted cobra (N.annulifera), Puff adder (B.arietans), etc
8 Mapungubwe NATIONAL PARK - Black mamba (D.polylepis), Moz. spitting cobra (N.mossambica), Snouted cobra (N.annulifera), Puff adder (B.arietans), etc
9 Port Nolloth - Namaqua dwarf adder (B.schneideri), Cape Cobra (N.nivea), etc
10 Ndumo NATURE RESERVE - Black mamba (D.polylepis), Moz. spitting cobra (N.mossambica), Snouted cobra (N.annulifera), Forest Cobra (N.melanoleuca), Puff adder (B.arietans), Southern Stilleto snake (A.bibronii), Boomslang (D.typus), Vine snake (T.capensis) etc
That ought to cover most of the venomous snakes... so if anyone feels like expanding their horizons they can look at what lizzards occur there as well! Lizzards are more fun to catch, and easier to make large species lists with!
