Funny how snakes in general seem very sensitive to exact eco systems/locations. I've got various friends who live within a couple of miles of me in a variety of directions and they all get puff adders, cobras and mambas on a weekly basis. In the last 10 years, I've had 2 or 3 mambas and one spitting cobra and that's it.
As for messing with them, I kill them if they get in the house or into camp but other than that, I have the agreement that I leave them alone and they leave me alone and in 30 years of hunting Africa, I've never been bitten.
Have you swept the visioned valley with the green stream streaking though it? Searched the vastness for a something you have lost? Have you strung your soul to silence? Then for God's sake go and do it Hear the challenge, learn the lesson, pay the cost
