A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Atheris squamigera
Some half a meter or 60cm in length, variable coloring - from blue-green, brownish to bright orange as seen on photos. As we were informed, all these are coming from the same litter, and color is highly variable.
Found in bushes in forests. Common throughout West and Central Africa.
In one moment, my younger son was very interested in learning about African snakes; but my wife wasn't really too keen to trying to look for these beautiful animals in nature... So, as a sort of compromise, I found a great place with great team in Kinshasa (where we lived at the time) to learn from them. And it was really a great experience; we , my son and I, learned a lot in a dozen of visits. So if you are around Kinshasa, the place is called "Le Jardin de Serpents" and their FB page is https://www.facebook.com/Les-Serpents-du..., for amateurs...
