It has an elliptical pupils meaning it's venomous not poisonous and don't bring mamba, cobra, rat snake, here cos they all have round pupils. This may be a viper, that's my best guess.

Madara12:


Rat snake
They are not venomous

You better not deceive the op into thinking that snake is not venomous. Treat all those bastards as venomous snakes and kill them when ever you see them

Mouthgag:
BLACK MAMBA of course

and they are very VERY venomous.



NB: There is nothing like a poisonous snake.
Poisons can only be ingested like food. Snake venoms are usually INJECTED.

stop saying what you don't know. Makes you look like a fool

Why the insult? I'm not the only one who thinks so. Even if I was wrong, you didn't have to insult me... You lack manners.

Most likely a rat snake. You can't find a black mamba in Nigeria.

Try to help yourself sometimes. Read stuff, use Google. A simple google search will tell you that there is no black mamba in Nigeria. Even if there is 1, it will be impossible to kill 20 in a particular location.

Ok then, thanks Irene.

You need to be careful..

Be omous or not..if you getting bitten in Nigeria...you case is heaven or hell

Was there a reason to be insultive??

This is not an insult. You sounded so sure when you were very wrong and this black mamba issue has been going on for a while. That was the only way to get to you.

Safaxano:
My neighbor has an undeveloped plot and I’ve had to kill over 20 of this same type of snakes, cos they keep crawling into my compound.

I decided to take a good pix of the one I killed the other night, maybe someone will help identify if it’s poisonous.

NB. I’ve just paid to clear the plot.

odikwa very poisonous.....you have to torch your neighbours plot make sure it's burnt
to the lithosphere ....lol

Skepticus:


Black mambas have never been found in Western Africa, dumbo!

A lot of you on this forum hardly learn nor bother to learn and would hardly accept correction.

No wonder you are being ruled by equally stupid louts you call leaders.

Back to your topic, The black mambas are restricted only to Southern Africa and their closest relative in Western Africa is the green mamba. The identifying sign of a black mamba is the black colouring of its inner mouth and its very aggressive disposition. It's venom, though very potent isn't as deadly as that of the Cape Cobra.

However, there are many species of snakes (venomous and nonvenomous) that mimic the looks of these mambas

From the photos of the OP here, I'm guessing it's an eastern rat snake or the West African forest cobra.

those comments about "black mamba" really shows how informed they were!

thanks Jere!

Hmmm

splendour7:
