Green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps<\/em>) exhibited (but not offered for sale) at the
2014 Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

One bite from one green mamba has enough neurotoxins to kill dozens of people — yet it is still milder than the venom of the green mamba’s cousin the black mamba.<\/p>\n

Green mambas are arboreal snakes from South-East Africa where they dwell in tropical rain forests.<\/p>\n

Green mambas have a brilliant green color and some people do keep them in captivity as pets in spite of the fact that a single bite from a green mamba can kill not just one but dozens of humans. Beautiful as they are, green mambas are deadly<\/strong>. I am sure the law permits it and I am not for a nanny state, I just hope that it is not one of my neighbors who decides to keep such pet. Really you have to be seriously confident in your ability to handle a green mamba, or perhaps just criminally insane, to decide to keep one as a pet, regardless how pretty it looks.<\/p>\n
