Dendroaspis angusticeps (Green mambas)

[Louis Jacobsz]

I took some pics of my Greens today and thought I'd share them with you guys.
They are an absolute pleasure to keep and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of getting mambas.

ENJOY and feel free to ask anything...

Absolutely gorgeous.

Love Mambas. This is a nice green, he's got nice light, lime green colors.

Do you have any Jameson's Mambas too? (I remember you showing off your Black Mamba)

[Louis Jacobsz]

Thanks guys !

I do not currently have jamesons mambas but I should be getting some soon ! I can't wait !

[Will0W783]

Beautiful mamba! A friend of mine has greens and Jameson's - they are awesome snakes. They're so curious and alert, yet don't seem nearly as aggressive as I'd expect mambas to me.

[botis]

Just stunning! This is the only elapid that I ever really want to keep. Someday...

[snake man12]

Do you ever keep any boom slangs. And that is a stunning hot

[Robyn@SYR]

Wow, those are stunning. And scary.

[Louis Jacobsz]

Thanks guys !

They are very calm animals like Willow said, they do tend shoot off if you startle them by accident tho.

@snake man12, I do keep Boomslang see this link: http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/general-venomous-forum/92868-boomslang-dispholidus-typus.html

Does a green mamba have a different temperament then a black mamba ??

[Norm66]

Awesome snakes man.

[millertime89]

Gorgeous, I don't know if I could pick between green, Jameson's, and blacks for a favorite.

[Louis Jacobsz]

Thanks guys !

@Stuka1166, In my experience greens are a bit more laid back than black mambas but both are extremely fast and not to be messed with.

Kyle, I'd just get them all haha...

Here's some more pics for you guys (2nd pair)...
