The olive grass snake is a long, olive-brown snake that lives in southern and central Africa. It has small teeth at the back of its mouth, so it is mildly venomous to people. It is often mistaken for the much more dangerous black mamba.1

  • Lighter-coloured underside1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: It is often confused with the black mamba, because it raises its head in a similar way to mambas, cobras and other elapid snakes. Unlike those snakes, the olive grass snake is rear-fanged, with small teeth at the back of the mouth.1
