Africa is home to many amazing venomous snakes. This continent has many ecosystems. We will explore deserts, savannas and rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. This second episode is about venomous snakes living in savannas. Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) typically lives in savannas and woodlands. You will see beautiful green males and a grey female. This episode also shows the Southern twig snake (Thelotornis capensis) and Usambara vine snake (Thelotornis usambaricus). Savannas and grasslands are home for several species of spitting cobras. Rinkhals (Hemachatus haemachatus) is not a true cobra. You will see it play dead! This episode shows spitting behavior of Black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) and Mozambique spitting cobra (Naja mossambica). Later we visit Nick Evans, a snake rescuer from Durban and you will see him rescue several Black mambas. Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is the most feared snake of Africa and this episode shows it in its natural habitat. At the end we will visit Musambwa island, a snake island with Brown forest cobras (Naja subfulva).

I've said it before but want to just say it again: the videos are so calming, so beautiful, the next best thing to actually being there. The sounds of the forest and the footage of the animals in their natural environments. AND I really appreciate how you leave the animal alone. I've watched some behind the scenes videos from you and know that you sometimes handle the animals but that footage hardly ever makes it to the final edit. There is something so enjoyable about this aspect. Now, when I watch herpetology videos from other channels, I am spoiled and a little irked by all the footage of them messing with the snakes. I think the snakes are too. Thank you again Living Zoology.

You guys are so AWESOME 🙂🙂🙂! YOUR videos are by far the VERY best (way better than the "mainstream" wildlife channels). As others have commented, these videos ARE calming (it is unnerving to me when people risk being bitten or might traumatize a snake by their "parlor tricks"). It's also so nice that some of your videos are now narrated vocally. The footage is just outstanding! I don't know how you all manage to get so up close and personal with these snakes! Thank you so much for all you do. I'm very grateful that you all are willing and able to educate us AND entertain us by bringing such beautiful parts of the world into our homes. Be safe, and God bless 🙂🙂🙂

I remember camping near Ngorongoro crater in Kenya. We set up camp and a ranger came over and told us to move to a different spot. The tree we pitched our tent next to had a pair of black mambas in residence. He told us the snakes had lived there longer than anyone could remember and that the best thing was for us to pick a different spot. We moved, but we never saw the snakes. I thought it right that we moved on.

I “have” a big female Eastern Garter snake as a tenant, whom we’ve christened Queenie. She’s called my property home for several years. Even watched her giving birth to the cutest little snakes I’d ever seen! Under my deck, with my Lab puppy out for a P in the middle of the night, and noticed her. (Held the pup.) Queenie lives under a brush pile made from my garden waste. Can’t compost it and be a home wrecker! Now teaching my grandkids all about her and snakes in general.

Mambas are snakes of the subfamily Dendroaspidinae, there are five extant species under three genera, the Black Mamba (Melanophis polylepis), the Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni), the Black-Tailed Mamba (Dendroaspis kaimosae), the Eastern Green Mamba (Dendronaja angusticeps), and the Western Green Mamba (Dendronaja viridis).

@Living Zoology, mambas no longer constitute one genus, they more correctly constitute the subfamily Dendroaspidinae with three separate genera, Melanophis with just one species being the Black Mama (Melanophis polylepis), Dendroaspis with two species being the Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni) and the Black-Tailed Mamba (Dendroaspis kaimosae), and Dendronaja with two species being the Eastern Green Mamba (Dendronaja angusticeps) and the Western Green Mamba (Dendronaja viridis), the jameson's mamba and black-tailed mamba are no longer conspecific and are now separate species with Dendroaspis now only applying to these two species, whilst the black mamba and green mambas are removed from the genus.

A Boomslang looks just like his treehouse! It would be deadly easy to approach the tree with the intentions of snapping off a small twig, just thin enough to clear the residue out of the carburetor of a pot-pipe, and reaching right onto the snake itself! "Bad trip" is a gross understatement of that ordeal.

Luckily Boomslangs are very shy snakes and they rarely come into contact with people. The snake will move away much sooner than the person could come close.

We get a lot of Rinkhals in my area and there're a lot of children in my street, before the nursery school opened 2 months ago. Letting one live or trying to detain it until a catcher arrives is too much of a risk. I love all life, plants and animals but I have a human bias. I know if I leave snakes alone they will do the same, but a child might not understand that yet. I'm working on building some owl boxes in my area to attract native owls closer to house to control the rodents near our house and hopefully the snakes won't wander too close to us. I just need to deal with all the black people in my area accusing me of witchcraft sigh 🙄

@@HermanQ1 Afrikaans is een (en ook de enige) dochtertaal van het Nederlands. Dat betekent dat de taal afstamt van het Nederlands en er nog steeds nauw mee verwant is, maar ondertussen is uitgegroeid tot een afzonderlijke standaardtaal. Duidelijk, toch? Net als de pidgin Engels van Nigeria afkomstig is van Engeland.

That skinny little Boomslang snake is one finely tuned product of evolution indeed. No limbs, no legs or arms, yet there it is, sliding through a bunch of chaotic and unpredictable, open branches, moving very accurately at high speed too. Then it opens it's mouth in a yawn, and shows a size that would allow at least three of it's own heads to fit into it. Can you imagine if a human's open mouth was so large, that if we yawned, we could fit three human heads inside it!?? Imagine how large our mouth would have to be to allow that. It also has that unique red tongue, and it KNOWS IT! It uses it as part of a warning to other creatures, if it feels threatened. In other words it knows that it's red tongue is scary and uses it as part of a method to BE scary looking! Good god! We really need to take a serious look at how we define intelligence.

I hate to see anything killed to just kill. You can have them moved away from your home. When I moved to snake country on the coast of southern US, as I was getting needed phone numbers, I sure got the number of the snake rescuer. We must protect all creatures for a balanced environment. Each has its reason for being, many I’m frightened of, but they all have their purpose.
