I have a friend in namibia, who's been having problems with poisinous snakes. he called them Pomanders.?
His english is only so-so, so I'm not sure if it's a misspelled english name or an Afrikaaner name. Any help with an ID.?

Puff adder or in Afrikaans...

Pofadder

I wondered if thats what it might be,no wonder he doesnt want them around!
