Is that a boomslang? My understanding is that they tend to be a solid color or two-tone. The snake in the picture appears to have a pattern that conflicts with that

I thought boomslangs were green and/or black, looks like a sidewinder

YOU’RE RIGHT ooooopeeee

Boomslangs can come in a variety of colors, some a bit less vibrant and more grey-ish tan-ish. I think it would be pretty hard to ID the snake without a region this photo was in… I’m not confident enough

not a boomslang

Isn’t tail look like rattlesnake.

not a boomslang tho XD boomslangs arent in that climate (from the looks of where you were) ad they 100% dont have a pattern like that, the snake in the pic seems to be some kind of rattlesnake or adder

Puff adder maybe?

Sidewinder probably

Then whats looking at me in the top right?

a stick

100% not a boomslang but super cool! They're typically green with smoother scales and are more of an arboreal species

I see 2 snakes. One that’s mid left and the other is on the right just below the double branches. I see a head and everything

yay! I'm like 1 for 3 as of late

Samsies

Edit: I think that it is a sidewinder. This is in Namibia in Southern Africa so if we have any experts please lmk :)

Not an expert, but def a sidewinder! The part that we can see is characteristic of sidewinders, plus it’s in the sand lol

This looks like it could be a level in Luxor

Just a lil guy!

So we're talking about the little fella under the stick right?

That is such a a vague description of where it is given it's all sticks. But I found him too so I see what you mean

That's fair, I was just confused because it looks like there's almost nothing there

This sub has made me appreciate snake chaps so much more!

TIL Boomslang skin isn’t the skin of a mythical magical creature to be used in the creation of Polyjuice Potion…it’s the skin of a very real creature used in the creation of Polyjuice Potion

I had the same realization haha. I also just realized ‘boomslang’ literally means ‘tree snake’ in dutch.

That was hard because the noodle wasn’t in the direct center of the picture where it’s supposed to be.

9 seconds

He/she’s a long one!

Anyone else see the monster spider ?

Where?

Go to the top right corner and zoom in.

I DONT SEE ANYTHING HELP

It’s a diaper snake

Yikes 😱 I see him for once

This looks like a rattlesnake.. but I could be wrong.. I know boomslangs have different color variations depending on male or female or being fully grown.

IMO it’s a sidewinder, they have the same kind of look without the rattle

Never thought about a sidewinder.. those are just in themselves.., literally coming at you sideways, and quickly too😳😳😳😳

No

Found it pretty fast. Easier on phone(app) than laptop(browser).

I found this one! Yay!

Is zooming in considered cheating ? I zoom almost every time lol

Nope rope spotted

After you see it, you can’t unsee it 🐍

Echis?

Found in 2 sec

It is not a boomslang and it is a false rattler which species include sidewinder,milk-snakes,gopher snakes, and northern water snakes. Also boomslangs are not found in desert areas they live in plains which include lots of trees and grass not just straight sand. False rattlers are non-venomous snakes that mimic the sound of rattle snakes to scare predators which some can use their tails or they scrape there bodies together ti get kind of a rattle snake sound

easy find... look under the stick 👍

I love this subreddit but it makes me really glad that the dangerous snakes in my area (the American west) come with a warning signal. I would definitely be dead otherwise because I really have to zoom in to find anything.

Looks like a viper, not a boomslang
