Well I had tried to get in a pair of Egg Eaters a little while ago. And only 1 snake came in, it was this guy. Obviously not an Egg eater, but hoping somebody can clarify as to what this thing is. Extremely fast, does not hesitate to bite, and has a good ammount of pressure coming from the jaws. Sorry about the pic quality, but hopefully someone can help. Thanks...

Here are some more...
Psammophis (spelling?)....A fast, rear fanged species from Africa....their primary prey is lizards, and their venom is not considered medically significant to humans....
-AzAtrox
Mabie not to toxic Iv seen there venom kill a mouse in 5 min.
Best guess would be Psammophis sudanensis Northern Strip-Bellied sand snake
well it's gotta be a rear fanged colubrid....that's a given. if I was to guess (since that's somthin I don't recognize) maybe some species of keelback?
ok well I didn't read the other p[osts as usual so I withdrawl my keelback guess lol.
Thamnophis sirtalis ( garter snake)??? lol
Hi Guys,
without doubt it is a Psammophis sp.
could be P.sibilans, which are commonly exported.
Venom delivery poor but big glands, so i've heard.
Need to show a little caution.
Cheers,
Dave
