The snouted night adder is a venomous snake with an upturned, pointed snout. It lives in parts of East and Southern Africa, in savanna, forest edges and rocky hillsides. Its venom is not lethal to humans, but doctors still treat its bites as medically significant.1

It lives in moist and dry savanna, coastal thickets and forests, from sea level up to about 1,800 m. It favours moist areas but is also found on dry, rocky hillsides and escarpments. When not basking, it hides in ground cover, brush piles and holes.1

It feeds mainly on small amphibians, such as frogs. It is mostly terrestrial but sometimes climbs into low vegetation to hunt them, and it is also a good swimmer.1

Little is known about its venom. Reported cases describe rapid swelling, fever, sometimes intense pain and occasionally swelling of the lymph glands. The swelling usually goes down after 2 to 3 days, and no cases of tissue death (necrosis) have been reported.1

Its venom is not lethal to humans, but it is still considered medically significant. Only a few case histories exist.1

When disturbed, it inflates its body and hisses, and it can strike quickly if threatened.1

baax na xam

Xibaar

It is a good swimmer as well as a mostly ground-living snake.1

In captivity it soon becomes tame and unwilling to strike.1

Its common name refers to its prominent, upturned snout.1

It is nocturnal in general, but not entirely, so it can also be active by day.1
