i am already shaking because of this black memba you people are talking about... Thank God it is not here in Nigeria..

Tolexander:
Cobra

It is a nocturnal snake that loves swallowing hen's eggs.
It is the snake behind killing of brooding hens at home and in the bush.

Many times killed by inserting a hook and line in a boiled egg tied down. It becomes stuck after swallowing the boiled egg. Banging itself on the ground for the egg to be broken. During the process, the hook gets hooked to its intestine and starts struggling to be freed from the line.

There is a myth about it in Yoruba. They say when it grows to a certain stage, it starts developing comb like a cock, and starts crowing like a cock to attract hens. Though I have outgrown that belief.

Well its not just a myth.. I have seen one with a comb been killed before.. very huge.. it's real.

its not a myth..that's the snake behavioural adaptation.

Stormyweather:
if it attacked the guy with spit then it's not a mamba. I may be wrong but there's just one snake that spits and that's the spiting cobra. The rest are just speculations and if it's a mamba. It's not a black mamba if not....none of you will be writing this story. Trust me.
A black mamba is called black because of its black mouth not it's color. The mouth when opened is pitch black.
At first glance I thought it was a cobra but the head says otherwise. Maybe cos it has been broken.

Yep.

Black mamba is not even common in 9ja. Its not even common in West Africa. But deadly in East to Southern Africa. It is even grey to dark brown in colour. Because mamba and cobra are of same family, they can be mistaken for each other sometimes. A full grown mamba can form a hood, albeit narrower, like a cobra. Which it displays when threatened. More aggressive and deadlier than a cobra though.

The thought of this kind of snake makes me reluctant in cleaning the farm. God abeg o. I'm snakephobic...lol!

PrincessBecks:
Snakes!

I can't even near them talk more of making a kill.

Jeez!!!

Princessbecks? I found my princess at last haha.

i guess it dangerous cos it attacked the guy with spit.

Mamba doesn't spit. Only the cobra does that.

Mamba is common in Yoruba land, it called Igbadu, the very long one like this is called Igbadu aberewo. I have killed them several times with wire trap.

thanks for letting all know. I've not heard of a case in Nigeria. It's quite a rare snake. The adder on the other hand in very common in some parts of Nigeria, the cobra gon is not a very common snake. Most of the snakes we see around our homes are non venomous except for those that stay in those areas where it's close to a forest or swamp. Nigerians need to know how to spot a snake and tell it's difference

Black mambas and eastern brown snakes are our regular visitors.... To kno a black mamba, its belle is always white and its inside its mouth is black

King Cobra for Nigeria! Kuku kill us

Which colour are they? Nocturnal or diurnal? Identified by zoologists as such?
The green arboreal mamba is different from black mamba. So which mamba are you referring to?

PrincessBecks:


Howdy?

hey pretty.. how are you Portuguese, and you on Nairaland? How do your pronounce your WhatsApp digits?

besticality:
Another snake gone. RIP to the black reptile. It looks like black mamba to me

.

A black mamba doesn't necessarily need to be black....I think they are given that name coz of their characteristics black mouth(I mean inside their mouth)
So since the op said it was spitting at the other guy,I guess it's a spitting cobra

adjoviomole:
This is not black mamba. We don't have black mambas in Nigeria. It's either a cobra.


With the current situation in Nigeria una wan add black mamba join our wahala again.

If it were a black mamba, both guys will be dead by now. Black mamba is fuc-king aggressive when threatened, and it can stand to the extent it can bite a grown man on his face. And it's very fast. It has got one of the most poisonous venom, it also bites multiple times.

doesn't mean it cannot be killed

As much as I hate snakes
I find them fascinating and am always interested in knowing more about them(most especially their weaknesses and how to capture them)

Waiting for that day I would be able to pick a snake up by its tail

nuvieak:

Yeah may be with a gun or trap. But with cutlass I doubt.

Na spitting cobra na

King Cobra does not spit. It's called king because of its massive size and it eats other snakes as prey

hardon1:


no talk wetin u nor know. Mambers (both green and black) are abundant in nigeria

You are the one saying what you don't know. Their is only one black mamba and it's not in Nigeria.

see how my guy analyse the snake
Kudos to you bro. You suppose dey work for Wikipedia

This is a spitting corbra not black Mamba. Black mamba are known by the colour of there mouth which is black and this also goes to green mamba. They are family. Spitting cobra do target ones eye whenever he wanna attack by spitting it's venom in to one's eye which can cause blindness. Thanks to Nageo wild.
