82. Snake Tales | Emeralds Of The Rainforest -- West African Green Mamba The green mambas are regarded as significantly less aggressive and less toxic the black mamba, which is considered the most dangerous snake in Africa. http://www.lavibora.com/Tales/ZooNews-3rd02.html

EMERALDS OF THE RAINFOREST THE WEST AFRICAN GREEN MAMBA By Jim Campbell The wait was finally over. The announcement came over the airport loudspeaker that American Airlines, Flight 703, from Dallas/Fort Worth, was now landing. Just minutes earlier, the drive from Brownsville to Harlingen seemed to take forever. Would the flight be early? Would I be late? These short trips to the airport always stressed me beyond belief. But now, they were here and safely on the ground. The mambas are relatives of the cobras and belong to the venomous group of snakes known as Elapids. Large, non-hinged fangs, at the front of their mouths, characterize all species in this group. Their venom contains potent neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, which affect the nervous systems of their victims, typically within 30 minutes after envenomation. Bite victims need immediate and thorough anti-venom treatment. Even so, many cases prove fatal, especially in situations where victims are delayed in reaching help, with death resulting from respiratory failure. The green mambas are regarded as significantly less aggressive and less toxic than their cousin, the black mamba, which is considered the most dangerous snake in Africa. And while they never displayed any aggression while in my possession, their 50-gallon enclosures did not do them justice. After a year in my possession, I decided to donate them to the Herpetarium at the Gladys Porter Zoo, where they could be provided a larger living environment and be enjoyed by the public. After conferring with Colette Adams, Curator of Herpetology, she agreed to provide them a new home.

They have a head shaped like a coffin. The Black Mamba is not actually black. They have a brownish-gray body with a light belly and brownish scales along its back.

They like open, low habitats such as savannas, rocky places and open woodlands. They are active during the day. They often sleep in hollow trees, burrows, rock crevices, or empty termite mounds, and will come back to the same place every night. The Black Mambas feed on small mammals and birds, like voles, rats, squirrels, mice, rats, or bush babies. Once a Mamba was found with a parrot in its stomach, another with a full grown Forest Cobra!

ECOVIEWS AFRICA REALLY DOES HAVE SOME DANGEROUS SNAKES by Whit Gibbons All of us know that Africa has some impressive snakescobras, pythons, black mambas. But with snake lore, one always has cause to wonder, What's myth? What's truth? Many of the answers can be found in a recent book by Stephen Sprawls and Bill Branch titled "The Dangerous Snakes of Africa: Natural History, Species Directory, Venoms and Snakebite." And the answer to whether any of them are really dangerous is pretty straightforward. Yes. Of the approximately 400 species of snakes known from Africa, 93 are potentially harmful to humans. And one of these isn't even venomous! Only 20 species of snakes are venomous in the United States. The African rock python may not have fangs, but it is big. Very big. The largest ones are more than 25 feet long. Being constrictors, they wrap their coils around their prey and squeeze it to death. And being enormous, they have been known to eat antelope and other mammals, including, unfortunately, humans. Fortunately, such events are extremely rare. The largest African viper is the Gaboon adder. They only reach a length of about six feet, smaller than our biggest rattlesnakes, but have thick bodies, and fangs that are real attention gettersmore than two inches long! Imagine a hypodermic needle penetrating two inches before the syringe injects a full shot glass of snake venom. Interestingly, bites to humans are rare because Gaboon adders are usually docile, even when stepped on. But when they bite, they can kill.

International Wildlife Nov-Dec, 1996 by Douglas Lee Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Meet the African species that one expert calls 'death incarnate' or much of my life I lived quite happily with the vaguely held notion that a mamba was a type of Latin American dance step. I learned of my error one evening beside a campfire in Africa, in Botswana's Okavango Delta, when my host announced that a black mamba had been seen in camp that day but not located since. A mambo, I was informed, is indeed a cousin to the tango and the cha-cha. Africa's black mamba, on the other hand, is a slender snake that grows to 4.3 meters (14 ft.) and packs a neurotoxic venom that almost always delivers speedy death. This is the sort of revelation that seizes a traveler's attention, and it filled me with a keen interest in the natural history of the creature and its potential for intersecting with my bodily health.

Put up thirty or so years ago, the park has been and still is a constant visitor attraction center. In fact a visit to the museum is never complete without making a visit to the snake park. WHICH REPTILES ARE FOUND IN THE SNAKE PARK? What are reptiles In general, reptiles can be described as cold blooded vertebrates which spend their entire life on land except for a few examples such as the crocodile and some water tortoises. They have rough skin covered with scales making them dry contrary to the common belief that they are slimy and damp always. Nairobi Snake Park is a home to some a hundred or so reptiles belonging to the following four reptilian groups; (a) Snakes (b) Lizards (d) Chelonians (tortoises and turtles) (d) Crocodiles Snakes The snakes kept in the park can be divided into the four main groups.

CHS Home Page Mamba Memories by Brett Ridgeway Originally published in "Tales From The Field," in Notes from Noah , the newsletter of the Northern Ohio Association of Herpetologists, Vol.XXVI, No.9, June 30, 1999. As reprinted in the Cold Blooded News , Vol.26, No.10, October 1999. Kenya, East Africa, October 30, 1983. It was a hot October day and my wife, Sonja, and I were returning from our church in the arid bush of northwest Kenya. We were serving as missionaries among the Pokot people, and on many occasions I was fortunate enough to encounter a variety of reptiles on these hour-long excursions. As usual, we had many passengers in our old Land Cruiser. Luka, our Pokot translator, was in the back, along with four Pokot women and some children. As we started up the mountain, Sonja took over the driving while I stood outside on the running board looking for snakes. I was about to make the most exciting capture that I would ever make in my life. I have been interested in snakes since I was about eight years old. Reading every book on the subject, I also caught and kept snakes while growing up. After my surrender to the mission field of Kenya, I came across the book Sun, Sand, and Snakes by Stephen Spawls in our public library. I read through the book at least three times. Still, as exciting as his Kenyan ventures were, it was never believable to me that I would have such experiences. In our two years in Kenya, however, we had many encounters with Forest Cobras, Red Spitting Cobras, African Puff Adders, and a variety of other snakes, as well as a six-foot monitor. More than once I had these encounters on our way to and from our remotely located church.
