Hi there, I have found the largest Boomslang I have ever seen and I have seen a couple in my days. It is actually chiiling in a tree next to my house on the farm in Pongola, KZN. I almost thought it was a green mamba because of its size and the only green colour it has. It has bin staying in the same spot now for 4 days and just wont leave. My pointer/dog killed a baby boomslang a couple of weeks back very close to where this one is, so im thinking it might have a nest close by?? I have limited poisenous snake handling skills and have a snake handling grabber, but needs some tips to catch this big boy before the dogs or geldenhuise get to him first
I am planning to release him @ Pongola game reserve tommorow so any tips would be appreciated to catch him without losing my life.
Cheers Bulletproof
