This long green snake was just killed on my farm after it was uncovered from under some baskets by the wall of the piggery with some fowl eggs. Upon sighting us, it opened its mouth in attack mode.

This is actually among the smallest of the snakes we've killed on the farm. Besides I'm told they don't eat this one if not, by now they'd be scaling the reptile.

I recall the last snake we killed, a very huge brown one. Before I could say jack, the snake was in a pot of porridge. grin They say that specie (the male) barks like a dog at night and has a very deadly bite. When the female gets old, it climbs up a tree, and falls to the ground and dies, then the baby snakes come out of it's broken body in different colours. Who's heard of this snake before??
Maybe lalasticlala can help...

As for this green snake, all I can say is...

RIPieces reptile tongue


You are holding a green mamba in your hand..... a bite from that snake is still very potent even in dead mode.

This snake is very popular in the Ajah Axis of Lagos ..they roam about everywhere there way back but I don't know of now ..I will be suprised if they are mambas because the are always very scared of everything

They are green mambas
Green mambas are usually shy and timid compare to the usual confrontational Black mamba
But are just as potent and might even be more aggressive when threatened

They probably came for shelter. It's very possible for those snakes to have been living with them for a while before they were discovered

@Emboldened, that I'm aware of but I've never seen a mamba with a screen skin sha

You've never seen and hence they dont exist

This is a very deadly green mamba
Re: Long Green Snake Killed At Farm [PICS] by tayoccu(m): 5:04pm On May 24, 2017
looks more like a green rat snake (Gonyosoma oxycephalum)
looking at the shape of the head it's definitely not a venomous snake.

Re: Long Green Snake Killed At Farm [PICS] by Unclerukus: 5:04pm On May 24, 2017
That's a green mamba. Snakes head and venom are still active even in death. you're playing with death, dangerous snake.

So if you see snake, you'll first check if it has pointed nose?

Do you do this native poultry in large quantity, how do you feed them mix or buy feed? How do prevent and tread diseases?

I need name of herbs that can completely replace scientific drugs in poultry farming

You can WhatsApp me on
08067670817

Thsnks

These native fowls just roam around o ..some belonging to my security guy. There's a whole lot to pick from... feed crumbs and leftover, seeds etc. Can be very annoying tho; I once planted some maize and before I was done, they were already going from heap to heap, scratching and eating my seeds.

As for herbs... cassava leaves for protein, moringa for protein, vitamins and minerals.... my layman's view tho.

It's ok, I knew you'd take off on sighting one anyways. tongue

The drawings make some some sense tho. However, while the eyes and scale pattern on head agree with your theory, the shape of head and neck dont.
