Ebenezar2020:
you need sense. maybe black mamba isn't found in the potor potor landlocked land of bia'fraud.
I'm a zoologist who is also more into wildlife and Eco tourism so I won't bother myself to argue with u.

The African Black mamba

sharpwriter:


You and one other person got it right. It's a spitting cobra.

I been dey laugh at comments since, cos every black snake to most nairalanders is a black mamba

What Kind Of Snake Is This?

I have a mini poultry and for months I noticed eggs are being tampered with. I suspected a snake but I couldn't find traces until yesterday while trying to relocate some, I found this snake close to one of my chickens laying eggs. It was the culprit. It has killed several of my chickens and I'm happy it met its waterloo.

What kind of snake is this and how do I prevent its reoccurrence?

What baffles me is my poultry is surrounded by houses people live in 247. I wonder where this one came From.

shilenji:
that's a black mamba, very potent venom which kill within 20mins, a drrop is enough to kill 20 fully grown adult men, it is expected since you have a poultry, you can't really prevent dem from coming but you can atleast get snake traps or plant a particulr leaf called taba leaf it wards dem off

mamaafrik:
you you get a venoumousmeter

guiddoti:
Red bellied and black necked is equal to snake? I am still searching for the real name, Lala Crobra.

IT'S NOT BLACK MAMBA

KingAzubuike:

You're right , the under belly of this one seems to be too red which is making people think it's a red bellied black snake. I would have said same too but red bellied black snakes are only found in Australia. The next specie that has that kind of red coloring is the black necked spitting cobra. They usually have a black body and some patches of red under belly.

AkpaMgbor:

Every black snake is a mamba to you guys! And you got 30 ignorant likes...a mamba’s colour isn’t even black...it is grey in colour..the markings underneath that snake looks like the west African spitting Bush cobra..though this one has a reddish hue to it instead of light yellowish colour..that snake is very rampant here in Nigeria and the west coast...it’s delicacy are eggs.

KingAzubuike:

Yeah bro, because tigers are only found in Asia doesn't mean we can't have a small fraction in. Africa. Because kangaroos are only found in Australia doesn't mean we can't find any Asia . Because polar bears are only found in the artic doesn't mean we can't find any in Africa.

.

KingAzubuike:

It's not venomous but spits alot for defence?

Weytin he con dey spit then? Na saliva?

TheManOfTheYear:
I heard the venom doesn't kill.
How true is this?

Skepticus:


KingAzubuike, most of the guys here no get sense walahi.

Dat mumu wey u quote now, go dey beat cheat outside say e go school.

The problem is not the ignorance (no one can know all) but the fact that when their ignorance is exposed, dem go begin talk nonsense to defwn what is not defendable.

I get their time today.

Mad People!

ireneidiva:

You are also an illiterate and an olodo. This is a black necked spitting cobra not a red bellied snake.

michealdeco:
check the scale of the OP's snake and that of the black...spitting cobra and you'll know they ain't same
The scales are differently patterned

Kylekent59:


Woman that is not a black necked spitting cobra. Do you know how long I had studied snakes before?

Do you know how many I have killed when I at work at a construction site?

I know a spitting cobra when I see one and non spitting ones.

Spitting cobra would like curving its neck backward when cornered, just like if you wanna throw a cough in your throat, you raise the cough up, move your head backwards with the help of the neck, and then you spit it out. So does spitting cobra does.

The non-spitting ones would keep their head to the ground. They pretend to be dead or wrap themselves up.

13. Speed, movement
14. Climbers
15. Skin (like pythons and Anacondas have spots)
16. Scales
17. Position of venom gland
18. Heat sensor
Many more

How can you differentiate between a green mamba and a black mamba

A boomslang and green snake

Spitting cobra and a non-spitting cobra

A puff adder and a viper

Yellow bellied snake and a red bellied snake

A cotton mouth and a water maccuson


A Zoologist brought back home a green snake not knowing it's a venomous boomsland thinking it was a new specie, he even gave his children to play with but they were scared. The snake bit him, immediately after that, he started feeling uncomfortable, he rushed to the hospital, but it was too late.

He died.


You can Google about a zoologist that brought back home a boomslang thinking it was a garden green snake

Skepticus:


Dis one even say NatGeo is not correct!

Chain, who did this to Nigerians?

God will punish all our leaders over the years for dropping the standard of our education so low that our young people are thinking like drunkards in a beer parlour!

LegendaryArnold:
that's not a black mamba. We don't have black mambas in West Africa. It's most likely to be an African forest cobra.
