"Currently there have been 41 different species of snake recorded in The Gambia, nine of which are considered to be seriously venomous.
Out of the venomous snakes, only two cobras and the Puff Adder are at all common....."

Perhaps i shouldn't walk around in flip flops
Where are they most commonly found? What should you do if you come across a snake?
Do children get educated in school about snakes?
What about spiders? Any of those dangerous? |

Haven't you said that you have been there several times? Did you see any snakes and spiders?
I believe they are more scarred of you too |
