🌟 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐠𝐠-𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟! 🌟

The Rhombic Egg-Eater (Dasypeltis scabra) is a fascinating and harmless snake found in various parts of South Africa. Known for its impressive ability to swallow eggs whole, this snake is a true specialist in its diet! If you love a good nature story, you’ll adore learning about this unique reptile.

🔍 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐠𝐠-𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫:
🥚 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭: As its name suggests, this snake feeds exclusively on bird eggs, using its specially adapted spine-like teeth in its throat to crack the eggshells before swallowing the contents. It then spits out the broken shell!
🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞: You can find these snakes in savannas, bushveld, and grasslands across South Africa, including Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and parts of the Free State and North West. They often hide in leaf litter or hollow logs, so keep an eye out if you’re exploring nature.
⚠️ 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦: None at all! The Rhombic Egg-Eater is completely non-venomous and poses no threat to humans or pets. Its only defence is an impressive imitation of a venomous snake, complete with loud hissing and body inflation to scare predators away.

🚨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐚 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐠𝐠-𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫:
1️⃣ 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜! It’s completely harmless.
2️⃣ 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Watch its amazing display of mimicry—no harm, no foul!
3️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞. These snakes are important for maintaining healthy ecosystems by controlling bird populations.

🐾 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬! 🐾

The Cape Cobra (𝐍𝐚𝐣𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐚) is one of South Africa's most iconic yet highly venomous snakes. Known for its bold yellow, brown, or black colouring, this snake thrives in a variety of habitats, including the dry savannas, semi-deserts, and fynbos regions of the Western, Northern, and Eastern Cape. You can also spot them in certain parts of the North West and Free State provinces! They are often found basking in the sun or seeking shade near rock crevices, termite mounds, or even suburban gardens.

🔍 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐚:
💉 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦: The Cape Cobra packs a potent neurotoxic venom that affects the nervous system, potentially causing difficulty breathing or paralysis if untreated. While bites are rare, this snake’s venom is one of the most dangerous in Africa.

🚨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐚:
1️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. The Cape Cobra is not aggressive and will usually only bite if provoked or threatened.
2️⃣ 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐭. This increases your risk of being bitten.
3️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧. Most snakes prefer to avoid confrontation.
4️⃣ 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩. Contact Critter Chronicles or your local snake removal expert to safely relocate the snake 076 942 5577.

By understanding and respecting these incredible creatures, we can coexist with them while staying safe.

🐍 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 🐍
South Africa’s snakes come in various types, each with unique characteristics. Here's a guide to understanding the differences and what each level of danger means!

𝟏. 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 🕊️
Non-venomous and no threat to humans, these snakes may lack venom or even teeth, like the Common Egg-Eater. Although some may bite if handled, they pose no toxic risk.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:
Common Egg-Eater (Dasypeltis scabra)
This snake has no teeth, feeds on eggs, and is entirely harmless.

𝟐. 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 ☠️
Though non-venomous, these snakes can inflict painful bites due to their size or strong jaws. While they lack venom, they should still be approached with caution.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:
Mole Snake (Pseudaspis cana)
Known for its strength, the Mole Snake can deliver a serious bite if threatened.

𝟑. 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 🧪
These snakes have mild venom that generally poses little threat to humans. Their bites may cause minor discomfort or irritation, but they are not considered dangerous.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:
Herald Snake (Rooilippie) (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia)
The Herald Snake has mild venom, which may irritate the skin but is not harmful to humans.

𝟒. 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 ⚠️
These snakes have moderate venom that can cause serious symptoms, including pain and swelling. Although rarely fatal with prompt treatment, their bites should be taken seriously.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:
Stiletto Snake (Atractaspis bibronii)
This snake’s venom is potent and requires medical attention if bitten, as it can cause severe localised symptoms.

𝟓. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 ⚡ (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐧)
South Africa’s "deadly dozen" includes 12 highly venomous snakes with potent venom that can be fatal without medical treatment. Bites are emergencies requiring immediate care.
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:
Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis)
With potent neurotoxic venom and incredible speed, the Black Mamba is one of the most feared snakes in Africa.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? 📝
South Africa has only 12 snakes classified as 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬, often called the "deadly dozen." They are among the most dangerous reptiles in the region. Always remember, the best way to enjoy snakes is from a safe distance! 🐍💚Knowing more about them can help us appreciate these creatures and their role in the ecosystem.
