Cool spotting, Mel. That is a nice-looking snake. Incredible makings, and I love the tracks that snakes leave behind.
Hi Mel. Nice shot. You are correct in your ID. There are only 41 different species of snake in The Gambia and the Puff Adder isn't likely to be confused with any of the other 8 venomous species. Thanks for sharing.
