>>i have never kept these guys but i am thinking about it. any reccommendations or tricks with them? also how does their venom compare to that of green mambas and blacks im assuming its similar but i just wanted to know for sure. any other info that might pertain to these guys would be great. thanks in advance!







In my limited experience:



Behavior is pretty much standard mamba. As far as I know, venom composition is similar to greens and blacks, potency is in between but closer to blacks.



Have you kept other mambas? If not, I would suggest starting with an eastern green to get practice dealing with thier tricks before moving up to a jameson's or a black. And if at all possible, find someone experienced with them so show you how to handle them and supervise your first few times.
