What venomous snake, which is a native to Africa, has the longest fangs2007-11-24 2:03:54Answers:
The longest fangs of any snake are those of the highly venomous Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) of tropical Africa. In a specimen 1.83 m (6 ft) long, the fangs measured 50 mm (2 in).
Not only does the Gaboon viper have the longest fangs of any snake, it also produces the most venom. Thanks to its 50-mm (2-in) long fans, this creature also injects its poison deeper than any other snake!
I know the gaboon has the longest, but I'm not sure which african species has the longest fangs.
the black Mambo

That would be the Gaboon Viper.
Gaboon
All these answers are correct. The Gaboon Viper has the longest fangs (up to 2 inches on a large specimen), followed by the Puff Adder with 1-1/2 inch fangs (on a large specimen). The LD 50 is 12.5 which is very high. They can strike the entire length of their bodies and can strike 360 degrees. Very dangerous snake. The are also lightening fast so they fool you by looking like slugs.
