Finally, multiple bites inflicted by a single snake are possible and should be noted if present.
Gaboon vipers have a placid nature and very rarely bite humans.
The offspring are born at approximately 30 cm long, and have no parental involvement after their birth.
So, even in the unlikely scenario that a Gaboon Viper finds a native snake and finds it attractive or vice versa , they are not closely related so it would be really difficult biologically for all their bits to match up and result in babies.
Authorities have not said exactly how the man was bitten, but are crediting his experience and actions after the bite for so far, saving his life.
