Amazing snakes
The colourful tree-loving
African bush snake
The green bush viper is a highly polymorphic
species that is found in a wide array of
colours, from vivid red through to orange,
yellow, blue and shades of green. They are
widely distributed across West and Central
Africa. Most often found in primary forests
and land converted for banana plantations,
they remain stationary in the trees much of
the time. But don’t drop your guard as they
can still deliver a quick attack if need be.
