Green Mambas are
found only in evergreen coastal forests, bamboo thickets and
in tea and mango plantations along the escarpment. Seldom venture
to the ground, and move gracefully and effortlessly. Shy and
not very often seen. Posses a potent neurotoxic venom. Bellies
are light green (not white or yellow as in Green and Bush Snakes).
(The latter snakes are also very slender, seldom thicker than
a person's smallest finger). Have a much smaller eye than the
Boomslang. Bites are rare and if given the chance, the Green
Mamba will quickly disappear into the closest tree or shrub
where most of its time is spent.
