From my understanding, snakes used to be very beautiful, they used to have legs and feet and a hump like that of a camel and used to be one of the most beautiful creatures. Until a snake helped Iblees to get into janah and trick Eve and Adam, where Allah then cursed it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and Allah hu alim.

That snake isnt venemous. It has got razor sharp teeth though! Looks like an anaconda

It is an anaconda. They have been known to get up to 35 feet long (about 12 meters)

Hard to tell which is the world's largest snake I believe a Reticulated Python holds the current record, but there may be larger anacondas in the Amazon Basin.
 
woodrow, i love snakes,
im truly and really fascinated by them,
i would love to get a ball python lol :D

amazing creation from the creator - Ya Khaliq
 
kill them upon seeing them, but i wouldnt, id be too busy screaming and running away.

But yes they should be killed. Snakes are dangerous scary creatures and should be killed asap

I'm pretty sure that's the Christians account of it.

Allahu A'lim.

Genesis 3 makes no mention of the snake having had a hump like a camel, but it says this:
So the LORD God said to the serpent,
"Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all the livestock
and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life."

It would be interesting to compare it to Islamic sources.

Hopefully our resident snake advocate (Snakelegs) will drop in to add her input to this thread. Inshallah

This snake type i fear alot! Seen it in captivity only! A single bite may inject enough venom to kill 30 adults. They are also known for their speed, they are really really fast!

Its the longest venemous snake in africa btw.

The longest venemous snake in the world goes to the king cobra!

This snake mainly feeds on other snakes! Although a single bite might kill a human, this is very rare as it usually doesnt inject enough vemon.
 
Assalamu alykum.

I'm scared of snakes..but i dont think its right to kill them upon sight, since they do play an important role in the ecosystem:) plus they are creations of Allah swt.

i am quite interested about the story on Adam and Eve.

Wow! Some really interesting facts about snakes they truly are an amazing creation subhanallah! I live in the UK so as far as i'm concerned snakes are not are threat here alhamdulillah I mean do they even exist here??? Don't think i've evere heard of a species of snakes that lives in britain??? If they did I think maybe i'd see them in a different light. Take the spider for example it's another example of one of Allah's amazing creations... thing is i'm absolutely petrified by them :muddlehea ...I know... i'm going off topic...

:w:

That is a black mamba. the most frequent area they bite is the face and neck. They are predomenatly aboreal (live in trees and shrubs). ther cousin the green mamba looks nearly identical to the green snake of the USA. Which is one reason people of African origin fear our harmless green snake. Knowing the reputation of the mambas, I can undersdtand that.

Although the mamba may be one of the most dangerous snakes, even with them btes are not common, but sadly are nearly always fatal.

Do not try to make a pet out of a mamba. A snake to avoid

Indeed! The black mamba is a 'stay away from snake' Almost impossible to handle by most people!

The green mamba looks very very pretty! Very elegant in a way

i am pretty sure that that is indeed the jewish/christian account. (unless there are hadiths that say otherwise).
in the qur'an neither the snake nor eve gets the blame, which is coooool. sane, too. :statisfie
alhamdulillah!
