Thanks, Good link. But nothing on handling. or dealing with them. But thanks again for the good link.

I have greens and blacks, I tail and hook all my mambas, lets forget the black for a sec, the greens almost always want to get away from you , but if you are calm and slow they can be to, dont spook them, make sure your in an enclose area, with no windows open, email me if I can help further , pete@bigsnakes.co.uk

Why dont you tong you mambas?

Just curios...

due to the fact they are much calmer on a tail & hook

I would not try to use tongs on Dendroaspis. They will get too upset and flail and thrash and possibly injure themselves or the handler. Tail/hook and/or transfer box....
