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. 4 Likes |

Use Google lens to scan the picture and it will show you the name of the snake. That's more reliable than Nairaland. 7 Likes |

Mouthgag: 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 5 Likes 1 Share |

From the pic though its blury cause it was taken at night i think its a black mamba,look at the mouth there is a trace of black streak I'm seeing,if the inside of the mouth is black its definitely a mamba |

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. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Mouthgag: 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? 2 Likes |

Dabss: google signs of noticing a venumous snake, you could need such life saving information in life, cat like eyes means they dont have round pulpils but slanted one, they also have a raised nose bridge 2 Likes |

Safaxano: 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. 4 Likes |

Nairaland, what a site to ask some questions? You will be more confused. OP, better you use Google and compare different answers. Save yourself of confusion. |
