Olive grass snake
The olive grass snake is a long, olive-brown snake that lives in southern and central Africa. It has small teeth at the back of its mouth, so it is mildly venomous to people. It is often mistaken for the much more dangerous black mamba.1

怎样认出它

- Dark-edged scales1
- Lighter-coloured underside1
- Grows to 100 to 180 cm long1
- Raises its head in a way similar to mambas and cobras when threatened1
常被误认为: It is often confused with the black mamba, because it raises its head in a similar way to mambas, cobras and other elapid snakes. Unlike those snakes, the olive grass snake is rear-fanged, with small teeth at the back of the mouth.1

- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
