It's not black mamba, that's cobra. It is not good in climbing smooth walls except rough walls.

I'm not a snake expert but a good expert should tell what specie this is, I've read somewhere that black mamba is not found in Nigeria but I really don't know the location of the OP.
This snake looks dangerous though

Black mambas are only found in Southern Africa and is not that easy to kill.

That's a West African Forest Cobra. Very common in the southern part of Nigeria

Black mambas are majorly green but have black inner mouth. Judging from the shape of the head of this one however, it looks venomous. It's hard to find a dark skinned black mamba in Nigeria especially the western part. Black mambas are majorly greenish.

It must be a recent introduction.

All information on the black mambas restrict it to Southern Africa. Only the Green mambas have been found in Western Africa including Nigeria.

I appreciate the information

Use ur head sir.

There are over 1500 species of snakes in africa and at least 500 of them or more can be found in Nigeria. It isn't easy to use just a picture to name a snake, especially a snake that isn't popular.

It could be a vine snake, Black racer, rat snake, etc.




The fact is that that snake up there isn't a black mamba, The black mamba isn't even black in color.

What sought of misleading information is this, there are no black mamba in Nigeria.
Please, this is a ,"white necked cobra". Stop rushing to comment when you see the pic of a snake.[b]

Lol, snakes climb walls, trees, even vertical rocks.

The only "Devil ordained" snake on earth. It is the only snake that is black to the tongue. A devil in disguise!

The real serpent,and could kill in just 15minutes maximum time only.

Can climb anything climbable and very fast.

And finally,it comes in three major colours e.g black,brown and green. They all have identical characteristics.

Only when those things have considerable bumps or spots on its surface for the snake to push itself self up on. It can climb trees by wrapping itself around it.
