seunH:you are right. Now i know most people on this NL don't make research properly or are not well educated. I see people here saying the mouth of a green mamba is black which is wrong. Most green mamba's have a pinkish mouth. I mostly identify snakes by their shape of head and fangs in their mouth. Thats a harmless bush green snake. |

Grandmeister:Correct |

The correct answer is Natal Green Snake.. Harmless. Black mouth doesn't make it Green Mamba. Its not a bush green snake.. Its a Natal Green Snake. Thank you. |

Intersexxsherry:Thanks, but I still think it's an African Green Bush snake due to geographical distribution. Natal Green Snake are found majorly in South and East Africa like Mozambique etc not west Africa. Let's look at it that way |

seunH:yes location matters too in determining what Snake specie it is. So you may be right, its just a harmless bush green snake since its found in Nigeria. Natal green Snakes are not found in Nigeria. So definitely its a harmless bush green snake. |

A harmless snake can deliver dry bite. The bite of a non venomous will be same as bite from a Cat or a Dog. Can cause severe injury if not treated well.. Moreover, i don't think keeping pets in Nigeria is safe because we don't have steady and good health facilities, no good vertinary doctors, vaccines are rarely reachable so please don't try to copy the Whites or Rich people by keeping pets in your home. Those white people have good health facilities and good vaccines for fast and effective treatment of all these animal bites. |

Hey! Keeping a wild snake as a pet is generally not recommended for several reasons. First, many snakes have specific dietary and environmental needs that can be challenging to meet in captivity, leading to health issues. Second, wild snakes may carry parasites or diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Additionally, capturing wild snakes can have negative consequences on local ecosystems and biodiversity. However, if you want a snake as a pet, you can visit a local pet store where you can find many different snakes that can make a wonderful pet. However, first, I recommend that you check out this article on Pros and Cons of Snakes as Pets which will help you decide if you should get a snake as a pet. I hope my answer helps you! |
