The western green mamba is a long, thin and highly venomous snake. It lives in forests, thickets and woodland along the coast of West Africa, and it spends most of its time high in the trees. Its venom is fast-acting, so any bite needs urgent medical care.1

It lives mainly in coastal tropical rainforest, thicket and woodland, and mostly in the forest canopy. It can survive where trees have been cleared if hedges and thicket remain, and it is found in some suburbs, towns and parklands with enough vegetation.1

Maziviro ayo

  • Bright green, fading to yellow or orange towards the tail.1
  • Scales have prominent black edges, which give a networked pattern.1
  • Long, slender body with a long tapering tail.1
  • Long, thin head with medium-sized eyes that have round pupils and yellowish brown irises.1
  • Typical adult length is 1.4 to 2.1 metres.1

Inowanzovhiringidzwa ne: It can be mistaken for green bushsnakes of the genus Philothamnus, and for the boomslang. Counting scales is a key way to identify snakes to species level, and the western green mamba has 13 rows of dorsal scales at midbody, fewer than any similar species.1

Inoruma

Uturu hunobuda nemeno ayo painoruma.

Uturu hwayo hunoitei?

Its venom contains neurotoxins (which attack the nerves), cardiotoxins (which harm the heart) and fasciculins. Symptoms usually start within about 15 minutes and can include pain and swelling, headache, drowsiness, difficulty breathing, vertigo, low blood pressure and paralysis. Without treatment, the victim can die when paralysis stops the breathing muscles, and a bite can be fatal in as little as 30 minutes.1

Ine ngozi yakadii kuvanhu?

Ngozi kuvanhu: InourayaImwe yemhuka dzine ngozi zvikuru pasi rose.

Bites to people are uncommon because the snake is rarely encountered and conflict with humans is low compared with some other species in the region. However, many recorded bites have been fatal, and the World Health Organization lists it as a snake of medical importance in western sub-Saharan Africa.1

Inoitei kana yatya?

When threatened, it can flatten its neck into a slight hood, and it usually retreats if it is encountered.1

Kana ikaruma

  • Apply a pressure bandage, keep the victim as still as possible and take them quickly to a hospital or clinic. An arterial tourniquet may help because of the venom's neurotoxic effects. Antivenom is the main treatment, and tetanus toxoid is sometimes given.1
