It always pays to take care where you tread out here. Quite apart from being a shame to squash this baby Boomslang, it might bite back.
Boomslangs are readily identifiable by the enormous eye and the way in which the boundary between the upper and lower body colours always passes straight through that eye. While highly venomous, they are usually placid and rarely attempt to bite, preferring to slip away and up into the trees.
