Definitely 'for real'.

It's a Gaboon Viper (Bitis gabonica) - this would definitely be my all time favourite snake species.

I watched a show once where they had caught a Gaboon Viper and were taking measurements, dna etc.

The handler had it around the head, the snake bit through and pierced the bottom of it's mouth and got the handlers finger; was incredible.

Ended up being a dry bite which was lucky.

Anyone else look at the newspaper to see if it was Australian and thus someone's exotic/illegal pet?
