What is a "boomslang"?

A boomslang is a highly venomous snake species found in sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its slender body, large eyes, and potent hemotoxic venom. The boomslang has a distinctive appearance, with males typically displaying bright green coloration while females are brown or olive. It is an arboreal snake, spending most of its time in trees, where it hunts for small birds, lizards, and tree-dwelling frogs. Despite its venomous nature, the boomslang is generally non-aggressive and will only bite in self-defense. However, its venom can cause severe illness and even death if not treated promptly.
