So what snake is this, also a boomslang?

Yes, with recently swallowed prey.

[lekhubu943]

Yes, with recently swallowed prey.

But is very dark. Is that a regional colour variation?

[PsyPhin]

Yes, with recently swallowed prey.

Isnt it puffed up because it is angry?

[gazza1210]

Yes it inflates when angry as in the pic.

[Jens78]

Isnt it puffed up because it is angry?

Yes, they also do that: https://www.sanbi.org/animal-of-the-week/boomslang/. But the example in question appeared 'half dead'; snakes are often lethargic during digestion.

The staffie led me to this one.

It does not move, but I gueas the diameter is more than 40mm, so it must be a big one.

I don't have the tools to handle it.

Hi,

Try using ASI - African Snakebite Instute.com
They have an app that you can use to request an ID of the snake.
Just search Google for ASI snake app.
They also do training.
