Surprise from bellow February 23
This clip is showing a West African Gaboon viper surprise attack. The little brown mouse, unknowingly sniffing the leaves didn’t expect a thing. Suddenly from nowhere the snake strikes. The viper’s been waiting his pray down bellow the leafs.

The vipers attack totally differently as the constrictors or venomous snakes. The Gaboon viper has a thick-body and broad-head that mimics a fallen leaf. This camouflage makes it difficult to notice. They stay well hidden on the forest floor and when they attack they like to surprise their prey.

I have one beatifull gaboon just like this at home. The other night I was a little uncareful and he has almost bitten me. I was trying to clean its cage, but didn’t have a good look on where it was.. man.. it was sooo close.. ugh.. I guess he’s getting old
