Yup its a green mamba, 23 hours after unpacking shipments from 8 diffrent countries and I finally had a few minutes to spend with my baby, though she wasnt a baby anymore. I think the picture debunks all the myths about mambas attacking everything and everyone. I have a friend with a 9foot Black Mamba you can hand feed. They are very smart snakes and proven complex problem solvers.

Iowan's are some big ol' boys. Tuff but stupid. Glad them corn fed suckers don't know how to use the internet!

Backlash from Iowans's to follow...

Now I'm pissed, I would huck a corn cob at you if I could.

No it's ok, the populace of iowa don't have enough brain power and are too busy inbreeding to know how to turn on one of these new fangled 'puters! why do we use those hicks as a gauge for the presidential primaries?

I heard you love the big black snake...

Yep it is definately a water mocacin...........isn't that the correct slang for banded water snake? Should be cause that is what everyone calls them. (the uninformed) Definatly the banded water snake is the most frequent snake that fisherman and anyone around water sees. I pretty much leave tham all alone. I have heard while non posionous the BWS is pretty agressive when cornered and will definatly bite.

I'll just take your word for it and be glad they're in Africa, or where ever, and not here.

FYI, common water snakes will bite quicker than most snakes and draw blood, so if you going to handle them you have to be smart about it.

Saw 4 or 5 water snakes this past weekend on the Jacks, including this big boy who almost had me fooled for a cottonmouth until I got up closer.
