The Gaboon Viper Of Africa – One Cool Reptile

The gaboon viper, which is the snake with the longest fangs in the world, is one of the most deadly and exciting snakes in the world. Many people love this snake as a pet because of the fact that they are generally very docile, but this can be a huge mistake. While docile, their snake bite is said to be one of the worst in the entire world. While deadly, this beautiful African snake is still one of the many wonders of nature that we all love as a reptile.

The snake is fat and stout, but it is still rather quick with the strike. A gaboon viper’s bite is nothing like their slow movements. When they do bite, it is with the longest fangs in the snake world at close to two inches long!
