Description

Boomslang


approx 1 meter long. I first became aware of it as it started moving away across the top of the conebush I was pushing past. When it realised it was caught between two people it raised its head and froze, trying to look like a branch. Maintained that pose without moving for at least 10minutes. In the end we moved off. When I was 50m away it was still in the same position.
