| Native to sub-Saharan Africa, this tree-dwelling, potently venomous snake has many colour variations. Females usually retain a light brown colour, where as males are highly variable, ranging from black to bright green. They have a short, blunt nose and large, prominent eyes with a pear-shaped pupil. Boomslang has exceptionally large eyes proportionate to its distinctive egg-shaped head. Adults may exceed 1.8 meters in length |
