Looks like the shot was taken from a vehicle, obviously a good idea.

Not a personal attack but this is quite simply bullshit. The longest Black mamba on record is just over 14 feet long and the snake in this picture as best as I can tell based on the colors and markings is a Green Anaconda. Mambas(black and green) are thin and nowhere near as dark in color. Snakes the size of the one pictured would rarely if ever be seen in a tree which is generally where the mambas like to stay since they hunt small mammals,rodents and birds. This is what a black mamba looks like.

All I can tell you is it was sent to me by a friend in South Africa.

You can actually research that picture online it turns out you are one of millions of people that got the same picture, the only difference is that it seems the story changes every time. I believe it to be an anaconda but who knows. One thing is for sure is that it isn't a black mambas. A few examples

Black Mambas arent black. The inside of their mouth is black.

And i'm not trying to be racist or nothing but why on earth would you go to south america and bring back a snake that gets big enough to swallow you whole? Now it seems as if a lot of white folks are realizing that these ain't the little snakes that you see in the pet store and have just started releasing these giant serpents in the Everglades and now theyre totally taking over that habitat. these things eat almost everything in sight from deers to alligators. lol

Now theyre saying that these giant creatures could take over as the dominant species there and migrate all the way up the east coast I hate snakes and dont know what i'd do if I came across a 20 foot python.

Even as a guy that keeps snakes and can legally handle venomous snakes I would stay well clear of this big fucker..... Unless I was in a Vette because everyone know they crush Vipers.
