hey! wanna see someone doing something really stupid? take a look at this video of a dude holding a baby gaboon viper on his bare hand
watch this video and know that, whatever dumb choices you're making in life, they're probably not as bad as this one
#are gaboons (usually) fairly chill and slow snakes? yes#can it also strike faster than a human can dodge? YES#idk what speed a baby moves at or how potent their venom is (best guess is it's still really fucking dangerous)#either way i feel pretty safe saying your local hospital is unlikely to have antivenom for a gaboon bite#anyways today i learned that gaboons are in the genus bitis and i find that a very funny genus name#also iirc they have the largest fangs and highest venom yield of any snake#they also have fat heads lol#(bc of the giant venom glands. but they look really cute from straight on)
