Iinyaniso

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

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

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

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