"Big 5" of SA snakes

[Fooble]

Marc don't you notice every snake problem they do the featured snake is always "the most venomous/deadly in the world"

[LeglessDragon]

Adding my top 5 here too:

1. Mozambique spitting cobra (Agressive when cornered and spits like a hosepipe)
2. Black mamba (Also aggressive bugger with the venom to go with it)
3. Puff Adder (quickest strike - under corection)
4. Yellow bellied sea snake (Venom is potent, but it does not strike often so no aggression, but have to add it to include our coastline snakes)
5. Afrock (Sheer size)

I am struggling between adding these to the list:
1. Twig snake and Boomslang (venom wise)
2. Forest Cobra (Inteligence)
3. Berg adder (Different venom than other adders so stands out for me as the odd one in a crowd)
4. Rinkhals (Because it can be found in almost any habitat like shacks on owned land)
5. Stiletto Snake (Loss of limbs due to the bite from this snake though not always)
