This is black mamba
Black mambas are mainly identified from their mouth
Inside is dark and not only their body

it's a cobra. black mambas are grey and not black. they get the name black mamba comes from the color of the inside of their mouths when they get agitated. if it's black and shiny like what you have here, then it's most likely a cobra.

Una don come again.

Just like pythons, black mamba can come in any colour, black, white, green, blue, grey..

But most are shinny grey or black.

I heard noise from my poultry farm.
Earlier today we saw a snake but failed to kill it,

So I ran with my torch light and killed it..I guess it’s a cobra .
All thanks to God.
If the mouth is black, then it’s a black mamba but I doubt if black mamba are present in Nigeria.

Black mamba's are not found in West Africa, it's mostly found in South Africa, again, it's not called "Black Mamba" because of the color but, because of the color of it's mouth lining. Black mamba are usually grey in color

Wrong.. A black mamba is a very specific breed, while there are other types of mambas like green mambas. But they are not the same, and what OP has there is a cobra

Yeah bro, but some jokes can mislead people. People learn a lot here. Calling that python could honestly mislead people. You didn't even add a smiley to your initial comment to indicate it was a joke, thus giving it an appearance of seriousness.

This your Okporoko Brain sef. Did i type "Black" mamba... I said its a Mamba.There are several subspecies of Mambas.Yes, i know how to identify a Black Mamba but i've never seen one in the wild. The one i saw was used by a friend in his PhD theses on Venom and Neurotoxins. He had to pay about 160k to get one from Uganda. Now, d BLACK Mamba is commonly found in sub-saharan Africa i.e all locations that are south of the sahara desert(Namibia, Zimbabwe, Congo,Kenya,Sudan,Cameroon etc). Check facts before u speak abeg. Naxo una go dey use Frustration type.......den u type rubbish. angry

Mambas come in different colours, there are black coloured mambas as well; you are right on how they are identified, the inky black lining inside there mouth..

Mambas are only available in South/East Africa

Not only that, if this snake happens to be a mamba then Op would have been a dead person now(God forbid) because mamba is very fast in such a way that it can strike twice or thrice within a second.


Very dangerous snake, besides, we don't have mamba's in this part of Africa. Mamba's are mostly found in South Africa
u dont get that close to a snake,mamba or not. U use a pole,a handgun or stones.Only once i killed a snake with a cutlass but that was because it was the only handy weapon within reach,.. i lifted an old car seat and i saw it curled. Had to steel up and use it.. Nothin like a good old steel rod or pipe to confront a snake,..in the absence of a handgun Or big stones...it will keep striking/spitting at the pole ,while u take powerful aims at the head or upper spine

Just two drops of potent Black mamba poison can kill a person.

Black mambas have a neuro-toxic venom which shuts down the nervous system and paralyzes victims. They can become highly aggeressive if threatened. You are very lucky to have succeeded in killing it.

Olodo. That's not a black mamba. It's a cobra. Never miss any NatGeo wild's episode. I expected more from you, mr know it all.

Mambas are common throughout Sub-Sahran Africa. The Black mamba has not been recorded in Nigeria but other types of Mambas are common. Infact, I killed a Green coloured Mamba sometime in 2016.

Black mamba is mostly found in Sub-Saharan Africa which includes Nigeria.

Black mamba can be found in the tropical rain forest Southern Nigeria.
