The Gaboon viper is a species of venomous snake found in the rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. It has the longest fangs (up to 2in) and the highest venom yield of any venomous snake in the world, although total body length is usually only 4 to 5 feet.
Due to their sluggishness and unwillingness to move even when approached, bites to humans from Gaboon vipers are rare.
