  • Small and stout, usually 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) long including the tail.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

Chokwadi

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
