it is found in africa mostly southern and eastern africa .I've never seen one in nigeria but you'll never know. Black mamba is the deadliest snake in the world, its like no other snake, while most snakes try to escape and only bite in self defence,black mamba is like a deranged assasin once it gets irritated it bites anything in its way. It delivers enough venom to kill a man in a single bite and believe me if you don't run it bites you over and over.ITS THE INSIDE OF THE MOUTH THAT ITS BLACK.
Yeah you are right there. Just two drops of its venom can kill a grown man.

Nigerians are always quick in killing wild animals. This a harmless juvenile African house snake. They normally live close to human dwellings, where they get easy food like, rodents, small lizards, and sometimes birds.

[size=13pt]How To Scare Snakes Away?[/size]

Movements and Vibrations

Snakes are very fearful creatures so it doesn't take a lot to scare them away. The best method to scare them is to make fast movements. A lot of times, just chasing the snake away works very well. Another thing to try is to stomp hard on the ground. The snake will not hear the noise, but it will get scared off by the vibrations the stomping makes.

Eliminate Hiding Areas

If you don't want snakes around, you need to reduce hiding areas for snakes. Common places that snakes like to hide are in piles of wood and rocks, tall grass, under boards and sheets of metal, and in brush or shrubs.

Eliminate Sources of Food

Snakes feed on rats, mice, lizards, frogs and other small animals. Eliminating the population of these animals around your home greatly reduces the number of snakes. Snakes are attracted to places where they can easily find food. If they have a hard time finding food in a certain area, they will not stay around for very long.

How to Avoid Getting Bit

To avoid getting bit by a snake, you need to always wear shoes while you are outside. Even if you are not positive there are snakes around, it is better to be safe than risk getting bit. Never get too close to a snake or try to touch it. A snake will only attack if it feels threatened. Give the snake plenty of time and space to escape instead of trying to attack it.

^^^^

It seems you know a bit about snakes but are you sure it is a harmless house snake? Some cobras have the same black colour and they are definitely not harmless. A juvenile cobra as small as the snake killed by the OP is perfectly capable of delivering enough venom to kill a fully grown man.

Snakes are a vital part of the ecosystem but you can't compete with fear - the deep rooted fear of snakes - a fear that most Nigerians have and which wins out every time.

Do you have to be a foreigner to care about animals? My parent are Nigerian, which makes me a Nigerian by default. Keep your insult to yourself angry.If you see nothing wrong with killing animals you could easily have captured, then it's fine. It's not like it's a lion.

Black mamba in nigeria. What are you saying bro. I am a snake loving person. All my life I have never seen a black mamba in Nigeria before. Please don't scare the public
I've seen the black mamba. Several times. At Maiduguri. An almajiri tried to scare me with a baby one once when I was much younger.

Then around 2004 at Ifite, Awka, I saw a dead snake which (I'm not kidding), was not less than 6ft long. Extremely black. I wasn't sure if it was a black mamba or Cobra. The grasses around the snake died as it decomposed. Real scary I tell you.

That looks like a Black Mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. You should tan the skin and make it into a nice accessory.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXzMPaYTrZc

That ain't no black mamba, black mamba snake is not black despite the name, it gets its name from the inky black colour of its mouth interior.. The black mamba islight gray in color. If that was a mamba, the OP would have ran off, they are lightening fast with deadly striking ability.. Just for the record mambas don't exist in West Africa, the are spread in Eastern and Southern Africa..
