The Eastern green mamba is a highly venomous snake found primarily in the coastal regions of East Africa. It is known for its vibrant green coloration, which helps it blend into the foliage of its natural habitat. This snake typically inhabits trees and shrubs, making it an excellent climber. Measuring about 6 to 8 feet in length, the Eastern green mamba has a slender body and a distinctive, elongated head. Its diet mainly consists of small mammals and birds. While it is generally shy and avoids human contact, its venom can be lethal, making it important to exercise caution in areas where it is present.
