This is my first ever snake thread on nairaland, so I don't really know what section of the forum to post it.
I guess its a crime for snakes to bite humans and we killed it in self defense, even if it took 7days to do so.
7days ago a neighbor got bitten by a snake, while chilling out on some set of blocks just outside the compound, he was just trying to stand up from where he has being sitting on for at least 15 minutes, when the fiery little snake strikes his hand.
He was rushed to his village immediately where some herbs were rubbed on his hands(the place of the injury) , and little palm fronds tired to his hand, I must say he recovered quickly, I don't know how poisonous this particular snake is, but his hand was pretty swollen.
As the superstition have it in their village, when a member of their village gets bitten by a snake, and they take those herbs.
In 7days if the snake is still alive it will come back to the victim's house or the place of incident and thereafter it will be killed, I don't know how true it is but the snake right here in this picture was killed in our staircase just 2 foot to the said neighbor's apartment this morning . Yesterday made it the 7th day he was bitten by the snake, he was not around to identify if this was truly the snake that bite him.
Anyway there you go. The fiery little snake. Gosh I hate snakes
