IMMEDIATE FIRST AID
for bites by
Western Green Mamba
(Dendroaspis viridis)
In the event of an actual or probable bite from a Western Green Mamba, execute the following first aid measures without delay. Snake:
  • Make sure that the responsible snake or snakes have been appropriately and safely contained, and are out of danger of inflicting any additional bites. Transportation:
  • Immediately call for transportation. Telephone: Victim:
  • Keep the victim calm and reassured. Allow him or her to lie flat and avoid as much movement as possible. If possible, allow the bitten limb to rest at a level lower than the victim's heart.
  • Immediately wrap a large crepe bandage snugly around the bitten limb starting at the site of the bite and working proximally up the limb (the full length if possible). The bandage should be as tight as one might bind a sprained ankle. (See attached copy from "First Aid for Snakebite" by Dr. S.K. Struan).
  • Secure the splint to the bandaged limb to keep the limb as rigid and unmoving as possible. Avoid bending or moving the limb excessively while applying the splint.
  • DO NOT remove the splint or bandages until the victim has reached the hospital and is receiving Antivenom.

    The Deadliest Snakes in The World
    Return to Main Reptile Page
    Return to Reptile Gardens Home Page
    The following is a list of what are currently considered the most toxic snake venoms. It is important to keep in mind that regarding venoms, the most deadly snake, and the most dangerous snake are two entirely different concepts. Some of the snakes with the most toxic venom, i.e., the most deadly rarely bite people. In fact, the sea snakes are generally quite docile. The title of most dangerous snake, i.e., the one that kills the most people, would go to different animals than those listed below. In the United States the coral snake has a very toxic venom but has killed few people because it is small, secretive and gentle. The most dangerous are the rattlesnakes like the Eastern and Western Diamondbacks. These rattlesnakes are large, have large venom glands, are relatively common, and are more likely to hold their ground and bite. In Africa common Egyptian Cobras, Saw-scaled Vipers, and Puff Adders would be the most dangerous for the same reasons listed for the rattlesnakes above. In Asia the common Cobra and the Russell's Viper are the snakes that kill the most people.

    Black Mamba!
    By Douglas Lee
    Meet the African species that one expert calls
    'death incarnate'
    FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE I lived quite happily with the vaguely held notion that a mamba was a type of Latin American dance step. I learned of my error one evening beside a campfire in Africa, in Botswana's Okavango Delta, when my host announced that a black mamba had been seen in camp that day but not located since.
    A mambo, I was informed, is indeed a cousin to the tango and the cha-cha. Africa's black mamba, on the other hand, is a slender snake that grows to 4.3 meters (14 ft.) and packs a neurotoxic venom that almost always delivers speedy death. This is the sort of revelation that seizes a traveler's attention, and it filled me with a keen interest in the natural history of the creature and its potential for intersecting with my bodily health.
    We never did see the mamba, but it prompted me to start asking questions. I soon found that every bush person seems to have a story about the largest, quickest and most feared venomous snake of a continent loaded with reptiles of awesome powers. Throughout a range over most of sub-Saharan Africa, black mambas are the subjects of myths taken for truth and of true tales that are as strange as any myths.
    On alert, as when hunting or threatened, mambas travel with a third of their bodies raised off the ground, so that a sudden confrontation can instantly put the snake head-high to a human. A bite to the face or torso or a direct hit into a vein or artery can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes.

    Black mamba Setswana name Mokwepa o montsho Scientific name Dendroaspis angusticeps Size 200-250cm; max. 430cm Description: Black mamba is a large, streamlined snake with a narrow, coffin-shaped head and smooth scales in 23-25 oblique rows. The back is uniform gunmetal to olive-brown, but never really black; the belly is pale grey-green, sometimes with dark blotches, and the mouth lining is black. Behaviour: Reproduction: The female lays 12-14 large eggs (70 x 35 mm) in termite nests, etc. These hatch in 80-90 days. The young measure up to 600 mm; growth is rapid, and a black mamba may reach 200 cm in length in its first year. Habitat: Savannah and open coastal bush, usually below 1,500 m. In Botswana black mamba is found in most places except the Kalahari Desert.

    Venomous Snakes
    Email this page to a friend with a personal message I am often asked how I come up with topics. This idea grew from a reptile birthday party I attended last weekend with my daughter. The kids really enjoyed petting Baby Boris, an eighteen foot (non-venomous) Burmese python. My research into herpetology uncovered dozens of good sites. How was I going to choose just five? Narrowing my focus, the topic become venomous snakes, called hots by their keepers.

    http://www.krugerpark.com/resources/reptiles/snakes.htm
    SNAKES Few people are neutral towards snakes. Feelings vary from the great love displayed by most snake-collectors to the more general fear and distaste, frequently bordering on revulsion. Ignorance and fallacy are often at the root of our distorted attitudes to these essentially shy and retiring creatures. Most snakes are not only harmless to man but actually assist us by helping to control potential rodent, bird and insect pests. Nevertheless, it is best to avoid snakes if you are not familiar with them nor certain of recognizing the more dangerous species. The Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is perhaps the most feared and most notorious snake in southern Africa. Unlike its counterpart, the green mamba, which has never been found in the Park, it is widespread and common throughout the area. Despite the common name this mamba is never black, but generally grayish-brown above with a grayish-white belly. Adults more than four meters long have been recorded, but these were exceptional and a three-meter length is more common. The black mamba is one of the few snakes which are instinctively aggressive and will not hesitate to strike. Nevertheless, when disturbed and if given the opportunity, it will prefer to retreat to its lair.

    BLACK MAMBAS
    Dendroaspis polylepis ) (Very Dangerous) This specimen is hardly ever pitch black in colour but the lining of the mouth being dark is where the name has derived from. Of all the African snakes the Black Mamba is the most feared and is known for being aggressive when agitated or confronted and will strike with deadly precision. The outer colour varies between a pale grey-green to a gunmetal blue. The head is also distinctive in being narrowly shaped and having round eyes with round pupils. The snake being neurotoxic causes respiratory failure and leaves the pray paralysed which causes death in 7-15 hours. The average length of a specimen varies between 2 to 2.5 metres but an exceptional case was recorded of 4.5 metres. This snake has quite a large distribution stretching from Senegal (West Africa) to Somalia in the East down to Pondoland (Port St Johns) including Namibia and Angola. They are absent from Equatorial forests and desert areas. They prefer more open Bushveld / Savanna with an attitude not exceeding 1500 metres. A batch of 12 to 17 eggs are usually laid but can be as few as 9 or 10 and are oval shaped hatching between 80-90 days. The young are usually dark in colour and measures between 40 to 60 cm in length.

    58. LD50 For Various Snakes.
    Demansia olivacea, Olive whip snake, 714.2, Dendroaspis angusticeps, Eastern greenmamba, 3.05, 1.3, 0.117, 60.095.0. Dendroaspis jamesoni, Jameson s mamba, 1, 0.72,0.414,
    http://mzone.mweb.co.za/residents/net12980/ld50tot.html
    All data in the table that follows must be viewed with grave suspicion. The Mouse LD50 is a figure that is indicative of a dosage that will kill 50% of the mice envenomated within 24 hours. These are standard 20 g mice. Thus a simple calculation involving yield and LD50 SHOULD be indicative of how many mice such a snake is capable of killing and by very crude approximation the weight of a human it would kill. Example:
    Dendroaspis polylepis (Black Mamba) has a LD50 (subcutaneous) of 0.32 mg/kg and a yield of 50.0 - 120.0 mg of venom. This means that it takes 0.32mg of venom to kill 500 grammes, of mice (remember it only kills half of those it is administered to). We use a standard 20g mouse, thus there are 50 mice to a kilogramme or 25 mice to 500 grammes. 1 mg of venom is enough to kill 78.125 mice. That is 1 divided by 0.32 and the result multiplied by 25. The snake yields up to 120 mg of venom so we multiply our result by 120 and arrive at a figure of 9375 mice. Or, by extrapolation, 187.5 kg of human(s). We do know from reliable records that this snake has killed 11 adult humans in a single attack. Thus the mouse LD50 obviously does not tell the whole story! It is however a baseline comparison that has some merits. Mice are not humans. The testing has been done in various places where standards differ from laboratory to laboratory. Some data comes from snakes that were not - or cannot - be reconciled with an actual species.

They are widely distributed, being found in the southern United States, South America, Africa, southern Asia Australia , and the Pacific Islands . The elapids include three subfamilies: Elapinae, Hydrophiinae, and Lauticaudinae. Like the viperids, they have venom fangs in the front part of the upper jaw. The mambas of Africa are the most dangerous of all snakes by virtue of their size, speed, and highly toxic venom. (Goin, Goin, and Zug, Introduction to Herpetology, 3d ed, p329-33)

He then reportedly devised an abortive plan to use the toxin to murder a designated traitor inside the South African Defence Force (SADF) and make it look like an accidental snake bite. Snake venom may also have been used to kill other targeted enemies.
