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

shogsman:

You're so wrong

felzylix:
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.

Dabss:
I am not wrong because the snake is not a black Mamba. It is impossible to see 5 black mambas in the whole Nigeria.

Since you like Google so much, check the geographic location of black mambas.

Madara12:


Rat snake
They are not venomous

itsme01:
.

OK

shogsman:

You just contradicting yourself, I commented on the power of the venom of the black mamba and how fast it kills,you quoted me saying it's a constrictor and does not have any venom, now you're saying something else entirely.
Stop whatever you're smoking.

Skepticus:


I don't know why the majority of Nigerians who are on this forum call every snake on front page, Black Mambas. Despite being corrected severally, they keep mentioning black mambas.

The idiots don't even know that Black Mambas are not found in Western Africa.

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.

Tenshades:



If you haven't been with snake catchers before, go and sit down somewhere.

How many forests have you been to?
How many snakes do you know you dumb ass?

Don't just sit in ur bug ridden chair and type trash. Enter forests and come back here to tell us what you have seen.

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.

Dabss:
stop embarrassing yourself. You can't find up to 3 black mambas in the whole of Nigeria. The 3 self na for zoo.

TroubleMaker47:

Sam2310:

So it venomous.
No bother about the name because antivenom is rare to get oooo.
If u get mind, check the one u killed if it have fangs
Compare the image below

oloriLFC:
It is called lalaconda

doctore212:
Cajanus cajan.

Normally found in Olosho house worldwide

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.

Tenshades:


Guy shut up go sit down somewhere. You know nothing about snakes.

Skepticus:


Your brain is empty. Go back to your beer parlour and continue talking nonsense with your ignorant peers.

eduman365:
Black mamba... I recognize it 100%. It's silvery black lower part. Very venomous.

USES
Snakes such as this is used to make steaming hot pepper soup, or if you want to waste its nutritious content as a delicacy...you can opt for clothing, such as vests, belts, boots and shoes, or fashion accessories such as handbags. It may also be stretched and formed as the sound board of some string musical instruments

Dabss:
first of all it has no pit, Secondly the head is not triangular. Look at the snake carefully.

Babaheekmat:
Am. Even more confused than the OP.

So many irrelevant comments making sensible comments irrelevant

Dabss:
that is not the pit. The pit is usually smaller. Check your reference image.
