Good pick. Do keep in mind that Eastern green mambas are still mambas, and they can be a challenge to handle when they are having a bad scale day. Most of my animals have become quite docile and easy to work with after a few months in captivity, but that does not mean they cannot still deliver an amazingly quick bite if they feel hungry or threatened. Their physical capabilities are quite impressive.
Consider a long term captive animal rather than a fresh import, unless you have the means to make sure it gets a thorough veterinary exam and treatment. If you're anywhere near me (Central FL) I'll cheerfully help you find one that is well started, dewormed, examined, acclimated to handling, etc. Mamba rescues R Us! LOL
