Hi there. I work on a farm down on the south coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal, so I have had the opportunity of spotting many of our scaly friends. I have seen black mambas, green mambas, boomslange, twig snakes, spotted bush snakes, redlip heralds, puff adders, night adders, cobras, the humble brown house snake, even the giant of the lot the african rock python. However my friend who works on the same farm as myself caught a snake recently that i can't quite identify. Please help me out, if i see the snake again i would like to know if it is safe to handle or if i must leave it alone. The snake was very placid in my friends hands which is a first for me because most snakes I have seen tend to try to get away, gape their mouths, or strike at us. I have added the pics to this topic please let me know what you think.
Thanks.
