Black mamba is not black for CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!, its called black because inside its mouth is pitch black

The way Nigerians call "black mamba" dey show how stupid and senseless we are. Other people mentioning other species of snakes that don't even exist talk more of existing in West Africa are the real cause of our problem.

Snake threads like this will show a million and one snake names and in the end, no conclusion will be made. Awon team Snake masters

As for the kind of snake, it could be a rat snake or forest cobra or a mamba ...
The info isn't giving enough details for it.. except an expact looks at it..

To know if its poisonous or not, you have to be cautious to get the mouth opened, if it has two long fangs at the top dropping down from a sack like bag.. that is definitely a poisonous snake .. if it has rather 2 row set of sharp teeth without the drop down fangs that usually retract to the top of its mouth, then its non poisonous and its definitely a rat snake ..

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.

All I know is if that was a black mamba he won’t be able to kill it and definitely not several of them and that easy. Mambas are fast and aggressive u shudnt be anywhere close to it.

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.

You've killed about 20 and you are not yet worried that one day it might bite you?

Black Mamba Snake Characteristics. Adult Black mamba snakes have an average length of 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) and a maximum length of 4.5 metres (14 feet). The Black mamba snake receives its name from the black colouration inside of its mouth, rather than their skin colour which is a grey to olive tone.


Local man, black mamba are not black

Also did i just hear you mention diamond head snake!

diamond shaped iris... Any snake with that is poisonous. Fumigation ur compound and the empty plot of land if possible. Your safety comes first. Doesn't matter if it is another man's land.

It's a rat snake.... Damn why did you kill it? Now the rat population will increase ten folds in your area..

It's about time Nigerians educate themselves about snakes because this ignorance will cost us dearly some day.
