Péringuey’s Adder (Bitis peringueyi) from Swakopmund, Namibia. Venomous.
Spotted Skaapsteker (Psammophylax rhombeatus), mildly venomous but harmless to humans. A Southern African species.
Only a favorite because they’re so skinny and wiggly, I like showing the blunt-headed tree snake to students because they’re just not what people new to snakes think a snake looks like. There are definitely weirder species out there, but the big eyes and shoelace appearance amuse the non-herpers....

Sometimes, plain snakes are the most beautiful and interesting.
This stunning large specimen was just hanging out when we came across it. Absolute unit of a viper.
