Green Mamba

• Smallest and most arboreal (tree dwelling) of the mambas
• Maximum length of 8 and 1/2 feet
• Distribution covers from Kenya in the north through Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi and eastern Zimbabwe into North and South Natal and Transkei
• Unlike the black mamba, it is a shy and non-aggressive snake, and does not often gape and strike if threatened but usually makes a swift and elegant escape
• The green mamba’s venom is highly neurotoxic. The venom is similar in composition and action to that of the more famous black mamba but only one-tenth as toxic, and the amount delivered is less due to the snake’s smaller size. Despite this, the bites are still potentially fatal and should be treated by professionals immediately
