Golden Puff Adder

Bitis arietans

The Golden Puff Adder is a highly aggressive, venomous, and common African snake. It has earned the title of “deadliest African snake” because of the large number of fatalities associated with it.

This Golden Puff Adder has been mounted in a curved pose, with its head juxtaposed with its tail. Its vivid V-pattern is clearly visible along its skin, with alternating grey, brown, and black details.
