Sorry for posting this in this section. I looked for "animal" section to post this, but the closest I could see was pet. Thats why. Thanks.

Please see my other post to see details of my rice farming activities

During the cultivation process of my rice, we encountered many types and sizes of snakes, many of which I was unable to capture. Snakes are rampant in that place


I was supposed to have written this post since, but because of time constraints, I decided to do a compilation at a convenient time.

Here are the images of the few I was in position to capture

The first was a little snake. It's a baby but I was told it's very poisonous. The locals call it kububuwa.

This long guy was caught and beheaded when we went for broadcasting. Locally known as gamasheka or something. I was told it's very poisonous.

I saw this lady at the farm casually striking the ground while bargaining her farm work; only for me to come closer and discover she was killing this snake. That's how rampant these snakes are there.

They told me that on sighting this snake at the farm, This hero bingo wanted to impress his owner, that instead of barking for help, it decided to commando the snake... (I've noticed that dogs can do alot of eye service) well, the rest of the story is seen in the dog's pictures

The dog almost died but the locals told me it had a slim chance of survival, and the poor thing did. But not without loosing an eye.

It was God that saved us from this one

Trust Nigerians, the fleshy snakes ended up in a pot. This was my share of one of the snakes. But unfortunately, I don't do snakes.

Have you thought of having a mongoose family on the farm to deal with your snake problems?

Your workers should invest in boots, will do a lot of good.
