The level of ignorance being displayed is amusing. It is definitely not a black mamba. They don't live in west africa. I think it is a type of cobra (Naja nigricollis) - spitting cobra.

And yes they are poisonous but the mortality rate from its bite is quite low.

That snake is venomous because the head is triangular in shape. The venom glands are normally at the jaws of the mouth thereby making the jaws big hence forming the triangular shape of the head.

Non venomous snakes don't usually have triangular heads.

Use Google lens to scan the picture and it will show you the name of the snake. That's more reliable than Nairaland.

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.


This is not black mamba. You just tagged the snake black mamba outright with reckless mention all because it is black. Black mambas are rarely black and they are extremely rare in this part of Africa.

OP, is the area swampy

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.
Black Mamba
Re: Does Anyone Know The Name Of This Snake? by felzylix(m): 12:47pm On Jan 13, 2020
For those of you shouting black mamba black mamba... Please be informed that black mamba didn't get it's name from it's skin colour but it's inside mouth which is wickedly black and glossy.
So, you can't tell if it's black mamba or not as there many black snakes out there that aren't mambas.
From my little knowledge of snakes, I can tell it's venomous given the shape of the head which is triangular.
Non- venormous snake have circular pupil while venormous have elliptical pupil which is obvious here.
My verdict:
Name: I don't know
Venom: 100% venomous.

That's not a black mamba sir. And it's clear you don't know what mamba is for you to call this one... So why are you giving authoritative advise? Is it bad to acknowledge that you don't know and learn from those who do?

Any snake with triangular shape of head is venomous. You can also pry open it's mouth to see if it has fangs.
Re: Does Anyone Know The Name Of This Snake? by Mursz: 12:54pm On Jan 13, 2020
Triangular head, elliptical pupil, Its definitely poisonous.

Clear the bushes and fumigate as quick as possible.
Re: Does Anyone Know The Name Of This Snake? by shogsman(m): 12:54pm On Jan 13, 2020
Op if you've killed more than 20 already then it's not a black mamba,cos they're rare in this part of the world.

I don't need Google to recognize a rat snake. Most nocturnal animals have that kind of eyes sir.
