NGONGE Posted January 26, 2007 Somalia has many very poisonous snakes including the boomslang, the twig snake, cobras (including a cobra that spits venom at the eyes), puff adders, mambas, vipers and Anhtinou's blacksnake. Without treatment, a snake bite can be rapidly fatal. Many snakes are well camouflaged and few give "warning signals". The ocean along the Somali coast has highly poisonous sea snakes which will bite swimmers. There are numerous poisonous centipedes, scorpions and spiders, including black widow spiders and tarantulas in Somalia. The effect of their poisons can range from severe pain and ulceration of skin and muscle to rapid death. These small and inconspicuous creatures are likely to be encountered around buildings, tents and bunkers. In addition, the coastal waters contain poisonous jellyfish and sea urchins.

Strawberry_Xu Posted January 26, 2007 My mum always says that Somalis are so hardcore, their children use snakes as skipping ropes. Any truth in that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOIC Posted January 26, 2007 Any one know Which one is Abbeesa in English? In my high school in Kenya I remember crossing path with them.They used to hide under the rocks. I like Spiders especially the Wolf-spiders and Tarantullas.They are nice little creatures, but I must admit that I am afraid of the America's South East Brown Recluse.It causes dermatological disaster if it ever bites you!
