Thats a grass snake and not venomous at all

Very poisonous

Green. Snake under green grass u sabi d proverb. Na





As u don kill d snake na Godwin

Harmless or nt anytime. ND anywher I c snake I kill am ni

We killed 8 of these snakes in my flat when I was in school. We didn't know the mother snake gave birth to them in the observer chamber of our toilet.

When we finished killing them after 3days of serious hunting, no one dared to sleep in that room until the next semester.

If it is a rough green snake, you are safe. If it is a green mamba, you are not safe. Don't wait to find out. Kill it!

@OP... you just killed their sister... watch ur back cos the brothers will soon be coming to avenge the death of their beloved sister. I even learnt her brothers are black in color...

I was chilling on my bed inside my bedroom around noon when I experienced a shocker.
A snake's head popped up by my window. my bed is by the window side. In fact the distance between my head and that of the snake was not more than 3 metres. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the beast. I quickly ran out of the room and
when I checked outside, I discovered that a fairly long snake was stretched out by my window net.
Impulsively, I attacked it and tore part of the net. When I discovered that I will tear a sizeable part of my
window net if I sustained the attack, I decided to wait and let it crawl out. Instead of crawling out, it crawled
into my room thru that window. I confronted it inside my room and killed it. Someone once told me that that
specie of snake is harmless. question is: if it was harmless, why was it advancing toward me knowing fully well that
I was lying down there. We call it akaede in my Igbo parlance. well, I bless God I escaped it's attack. Fellow NLs, your candid opinions
are needed: Is this snake a threat to humans or not? find pix below:

Bros, from experience a similar 'snake visited me' like a year plus ago I killed it with the help of my neighbours.
Less than 2 weeks ago a deadlier specie visited again. I successfully killed it and that marked the end of my 'wahala'.
Pray, fast and do all the necessary.

That's not a green mamba, that's a green tree snake

Tree snakes r not found in africa, mainly in australia.

Man i thought it was a harmless grass snake till i saw that Green western Mamba post..

starlingslimnet:
Colour and head shape

Hugely insufficient!

Mambas generally are highly agile, long and aggressive. It can outrun you on a sprint (that's If you don't run very fast) they are the fastest of any snake specie.

Green mambas are predominantly arboreal.

Green mambas are not found in Nigeria anymore.

The Op will find killing it extremely hard without getting a bite in the face if it were to be a Mamba of any specie.

Digriz:
U are wrong, that snake is harmless and not a green mamba though I won't blame the op for killing it. Both look similar only that the green mamba will like to attack when confronted bt this one will run on sighting you.

Most snakes will try to run wen confronted, but attacked when pushed to d wall. The op said it was advancing towards him, dats one of d major xracter of a mamba, they r aggressive. All snakes r venomous xcept for pythons. Those who say its harmless r being told, non is speakin rm xperience

Eyop:


same here but there was a thread here on Nairaland about how one particular area in South-East worship snake now or didn't you see that thread?

No I didn't see the thread

tetraman:
Someone mentioned the green mamba. It seems to be the one.

From Wikipedia :
The western green mamba is a very alert, nervous, and extremely agile snake that lives mainly in the coastal tropical rainforest, thicket, and woodland regions of western Africa. Like all the other mambas, the western green mamba is a highly venomous elapid species. Its venom is a highly potent mixture of rapid-acting presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins (dendrotoxins), cardiotoxins and fasciculins. Some consider this species to not be a particularly aggressive snake, but others have suggested that they are extremely nervous and are prone to attack aggressively when cornered. Conflict with humans is low compared to some other species found in the region. Bites to people by this species are quite uncommon. Their mortality rate, however, is high; many of the recorded bites have been fatal. Rapid progression of severe, life-threatening symptoms are hallmarks of mamba bites. Bites with envenomation can be rapidly fatal. Case reports of rapidly fatal outcomes, in as little as 30 minutes, have been recorded for this species.

POINT OF CORRECTION. THIS IS NOT GREEN MAMBA BUT GREEN GRASS SNAKE COMMONLY FOUND IN NIGERIA. IT IS NOT A POISONOUS SNAKE. MAKE RESEARCH

@Op, you are a bloody murderer! In what way has that snake harmed you? If its presence bothers you next time get a long thin stick and stretch it to the snake it will take the offer and coil itself around it. Then go and place the stick on a grass away from your house. It will be happy and wish blessing on you.

You've got to be kidding me.

redcliff:
Lol. all these bush corner rooms...see the carpet sef...

eagleonearth:
I've been thanking him since then. but is the snake really deadly?

It's not deadly, do u live in the mangroves? I thought this snake is only found there .

dulux07:
Thank God it did not bite u. If m not mistaken thats a west africa green mamba, its highly venomous, n its bite could be fatal. Never judge a snake by its size.

green snakes like dis r nt poisonous pls

dulux07:

Tree snakes r not found in africa, mainly in australia.

Sorry, just call it Green snake. I added tree cos I always find it in trees.

It's definitely not a mamba. Green Mambas are longer and have a black colouration running through their green scales.

jnrbayano:


How did you know this?

Its looks, behaviour, habitat or what?

i know from my knowledge of the mambas . This is just one specie out of like three

Come whr una dey live sef
