The boomslang is a venomous snake that lives in trees in Africa. It has a long body, large eyes, and very strong venom that destroys blood.
The boomslang differs from other snakes in its strong hemotoxic venom and the bright coloration of males. It is important for nature because it controls the population of birds, lizards, and other small animals.
