The West African night adder is a small, stout snake that lives in forests, savannas and dry semi-desert across West and Central Africa. It is venomous, but its bite usually causes only mild symptoms. It is known for hunting frogs and toads.1

  • Flanks sprinkled with black scales.1
  • A distinct V-shaped mark on the head. It is solid black in young snakes and brown with a black outline in adults.1

Bites cause mild symptoms, including pain, moderate swelling, swollen lymph nodes near the bite (local lymphadenitis) and a mild fever. Blistering has not been reported, and tissue death (necrosis) is rare and usually happens only as a secondary effect. The symptoms usually fade after two to three days, normally without complications.1

Mfundo

1

Despite its name, the night adder is active at any time of day or night, and it has sometimes been seen basking in the sun.1

2

It is a slow-moving snake, but it can strike quickly. It tends to lash at its target rather than stab.1

3

It is most active in the rainy season, from March to October, when its prey is plentiful. It almost disappears during the dry season.1

4

Its back pattern varies a lot. Some snakes have no pattern at all, and snakes from DR Congo are often a uniform brown.1
