boomslang
Venomous tree snake
A boomslang is a large, highly venomous tree snake native to sub-Saharan Africa.
The name comes from Afrikaans words meaning "tree snake." Despite its potent venom, the boomslang is shy and bites humans rarely.
Its back-fanged structure makes envenomation less likely than with front-fanged snakes.
