The Puff Adder 🐍 Known as one of Botswana’s most widespread venomous snakes, the Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) relies on ambush tactics rather than speed. With its striking camouflage, it can remain unseen until it’s almost too late making accidental bites common. ⚠️ Venom Insight: The Puff Adder’s venom is cytotoxic, meaning it destroys tissue around the bite area. Bites can cause severe pain, swelling, and tissue damage and require urgent medical attention! 💡 Did You Know? Despite their danger

PUFF ADDER Did you know : A Puff Adders life span can go up to 13 to 16 years!
