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.

green snakes like dis r nt poisonous pls

eagleonearth:
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:

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.

LadyBoss1:
O m G
Feel like crying i hate snakesssss
A green one at that
OP the green ones are poisonous right?

Sleazo:
thats likely an ordinary green grass snake and not a mamba. Mambas are thicker and extra fast. He would have been in the hospital bed by now if that was a mamba.anyway, prevention has always been better than cure.

dulux07:

But green snakes dont exist in africa, no matter how fast d snake is, its not as smart as humans. Remember it was trapped initially.

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.

I av seen that snake before in Nigeria. Nembe tribe in Bayelsa don't kill it and some part of kalabari. Don't say what you don't know

OPCNAIRALAND:
@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.

Ressurect am make u carry am go your house go keep

dulux07:

U r d one getin wrong, green snakes dont exist in africa, only exist in america, what u saw was another specie, likely to b a mamba. Green Mambas get nervous when they r around humans, they hardly attack humans, but can b very aggressive. Do ur research well.
