Tsela ya go e lemoga

  • Has a distinctive pair of enlarged nasal scales that look like horns on its nose.1
  • The dark triangular marking running from the eye back towards the corner of the mouth is not divided.1
  • Its head is broader than that of its close relative B. nasicornis.1
  • Overall it is somewhat larger than B. gabonica.1

Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: The close relative B. nasicornis also has horn-like nasal scales, but it has a brighter colour pattern and a narrower head. B. gabonica is overall somewhat smaller, and in B. g. gabonica the dark marking from the eye to the mouth is divided, which it is not in this snake.1
