all I can offer is the surgeon in Joburg was experienced with snake bites...and was convinced it was a gaboon viper..based on the symptons i arrived with...I guess. I am not a medical professional, or snake expert...but I do personnaly know quite a few that were bitten in zambia by puff adders, with much less severe consequences then I experienced, I thought the gaboon is much more deadly because of the volume of venom it can deliver in a bite..has killed elephants I have heard.
