Why do we call this snake a puff adder? Well looking at this video you can see that it is a very appropriate name for this snake. The puff adder will inhale and exhale air through its nostrils and this causes the sound that tells you, Watch out! | African Reptiles and Venom

Puff Adders can move in many different ways. When in a hurry to get away they will sidewind, otherwise they will just use the caterpillar movement. Instead of killing them when found in a yard, you can call a snake catcher or sweep it into a bucket if no catchers are available. You should never place your hands or feet near a Puff adder as they can strike 1/40th of a second and don't miss often. | African Reptiles and Venom
