Thats fucked up National Geographic shouldn't show this people Love Chameleons more than stupid snakes! National Geographic you lost 10% of my respect for that. :( I love chameleons :(
@Jithral I'm betting it's since we in the English speaking world already have plenty of "tree snakes", and none in the USA are venomous. "Boomslang" is more fitting for a badass deadly snake. Just my opinion.
but i think its just a name that they use for the snake
cuz it haves mamba poisen watch other vids and than they wil say (as like in this video) that the black maba and other maba's have slowly working poisen.
that name comes from holland or the netherlands cuz boomslang is dutch.
the name is created by columbis during one of his travels aroud the world.
one of his crue members get bitten by the boomslang (in treu words green tree mamba) and hi named snake boomslang it means tree snake as i sed bifore.
and boomslang can bi afrikans to but in treu form it is dutch.
I just said Boomslang means tree snake. The word Boomslang came into use in the 18th century, way after the dutch held dominion over Souther Africa.
Well Afrikaans originates from Dutch, and they've been living in Africa for almost 500 years now.
It's obvious the name of the snake is Afrikaans/South African, even the name Green Mamba is South African, Mamba comes from Zulu- Zulus are a Southern African tribe.
I'm interested in etymology, ( study of word origins) and I'm pretty sure that the word boomslang comes from Afrikaans... since I know Afrikaans, and the above mentioned reasons.
People. Don't worry. Chuck Norris heard the chameleon from antarctica. Chuck Norris gave that snake a roundhouse kick to the face. The chameleon was alright.
I have a question for whoever knows the answer. I have two male Senegal Chameleons who live in the same cage together. (I found out they prefer their own space after I had already purchased them). Anyway, they sleep on top of each other at night and seem to get along quite well. Is this just an unusual characteristic trait that isnt very common, or is there something more to it? They never fight each other or change colors when around each other. Does anyone know why they 2 males get along?
The boomslang doesn't have the most toxic venom of any venomous snake in the world, it has the most toxic venom of any rear-fanged colubrid. Boomslangs are opistoglyphous. That means they have fangs that are in the rear of their mouth and when they bite, they have to chew on their prey so the venom can channel into the wound. They are also a colubrid and there are only two species of colubrids that are dangerous to humans. The Boomslang and the Twig snake.
I remember back in 1989-1990, when everyone assumed boomslangs were harmless, but then it was discovered that the venom is VERY delayed. You dont notice anything for like.. hours, to a couple days. Then all of a sudden you drop dead. XD On the plus side, that makes this one of the easier snakebites to treat, since it takes so long to take effect.
@jellyreptiles Well thats the silliest comment i've seen in a while. The majority of chameleons kept these days (especially the most common ones) are captive bred. Meaning there are, and will be chameleons in the wild, no matter how many people have them as pets. Therefore, boomslangs will still be able to eat them. Boomslangs need to eat too remember ;)
So i was watching some shit about this snake on discovery. If you were bitten and untreated, you'd start bleeding from your nose, mouth, ears, and eyes...and of course you'd die.
oh man i want to kill tat boomslang! i have a pet chameleon! i was watching this with my chameleon and he started to hiss at the snake! stupid boomslang! >:-(
but i heard that they had really quick acting venom is it slow or fast. and Chameleons a NOT cooler then snakes. they are very cool but snakes are better!
thats funny because since your a nt american patriot, i belive your opinion is shit, no more than that, shits shit if shit could have a digestive system
