We don’t have too many encounters with snakes around our house – maybe ten in the last four years and only three of them were venomous. I’ve expected to see more in my explorations around the Gambaga Escarpment but, alas, I’ve only seen two – a red-lined snake and a Dorr’s Racer.
On a recent visit to the cliffs, Trey found a three meter long snake skin! It was incredible how big it was – both in length and girth. And the fact that it’s a shed skin means the snake was growing even bigger!
My guess is that it is a python and lives off the rock hyraxes that populate the caves & cracks of the cliffs.
