Gaboon viper, Bitis gabonica. James could probably tell you which subspecies.

haha, gaboon vipers dont even NEED color morphs!! they are plentyyyy gorgeous all on their own!

those pictures are crazy! Shanley, don't feel too sad about the cat... he fell prey the same as a mouse, rat or a bird would.... it's hard to swallow but sometimes, cats, dogs, and even snakes become food too.

Indeed they are. Nearly as good looking as Bitis nasicornis and B. parviocula.

man those cats must be plain dumb just to stand there and watch the one get eaten.. I would have hi tailed it out of there lol.. After I took pictures that is lol..

I was thinking the cat was probably teasing the snake to begin with They're not the smartest creatures... but they're usually quick enough to survive their stupidity
