Jeremy,
I will have to say you are absolutly correct in your statement..... Gaboon an puff adder habitats do not generaly cross..... But do boarder eachother..... The puff adder was most likely the culprit in this situation...... The syptoms of a bite just about mirror eachother between the two species...... Gaboons for the most part do not inhabit tall dry grassy areas...... Infact they can dehydrate rather fast...... They need humidity and generaly do not drink from standing pools of water...... Instead they use their heads as a chanel to funnel water from rain or condensation to their mouths...... So tall grassy fields would not be the habitat of choice for a gaboon but would be a prime location for a puff adder......
