A. multimaculatus is found in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.[1][2]
The preferred natural habitats of A. multimaculatus are freshwater wetlands, grassland, shrubland, and forest.[1]
A small species, A. multimaculatus may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 45 cm (18 in).[3]
A. multimaculatus preys on frogs and lizards.[3]
A. multimaculatus is viviparous.[2] Usually four to eight young are born in late summer. Each neonate measures 12.5–20 cm (4.9–7.9 in) in total length (including tail).[3]
If a human is bitten by A. multimaculatus, the venom may cause localized swelling, inflammation, and pain. The venom is delivered by enlarged grooved teeth at the rear of the mouth.[3]
