The boom slang is one of the worlds deadliest snakes and is different compered to your average venomous snake it's eyes are not like cats but are round as you can see in the image to the right . The boomslang has a round head like the black mamba and comes in many bright colors. The boomslang's venom packs a punch but it is shy and less likely to bite people but do not think that you are safe just because it is shy because some are not and they will not hesitate to bite. The boomslang's venom is a hemotoxin meaning that it attacks red blood cells and can cause the one it bites to bleed from there gums and the nose and the victim will turn blue from internal bleeding and will die do to lack of blood and there body will shut down and the victim will die but lucky for use there is an antivenom that can be given but this dose not always work out in the end for some but for most this works.
