This snake, known as the bush viper, tends to avoid others and wants to relax fully until it’s their meal time.
This snake looks a lot like it’s dragon from fairytales because of the scales it has on its skin. Scientifically named the Atheris, this is a genus of species of snakes that are rare and live in the tropical sub-saharas in Africa.
One of the Most Stunning-Looking Snakes in the World
Even though according to some investigations, they also live in Kenya, Uganda, and Congo, they’re hardly seen because they avoid humans and locations with people.
The snake can grow up to 23 and 29 inches in length. It’s not the largest snake, but it’s large enough. It lives mostly in high tree branches and waits for prey. It’s a nocturnal snake that finds meals fast and easy.
Since it’s highly venomous, it uses its venom to catch prey. It’s therefore good news that they stay away from humans!
The snake can be seen in a variety of colours, including blue, olive, green, and brown. It’s really aesthetically unique. One could say they’re also one of the most beautiful snakes in the world.
Although a lot of people dislike and fear snakes, one cannot say no to their mesmerizing beauty– still, we appreciate that they’re doing their best to stay away from us!
