I have a question for all you Eastern Green Mamba experts out there. Is there a way to tell which locality an Eastern Green Mamba is just by looking at it? I have a female Eastern Green Mamba that is perfectly green and I have a male Eastern Green Mamba that has some black coloration between it's scales and doesn't have as nice of a green coloration to it as the female. Why is that? Are there certain localities that are prettier than the others? I have read that the only Eastern Green Mambas that are in the United States come from a certain country, but I don't believe that is accurate.
As for Western Green Mambas, I have seen more of a variety of colors and shades than in Eastern Green Mambas. Is that because of a difference of locality or is it due to something else? Any additional information and comments are appreciated. If you are from Africa and have first hand experience of wild mambas, I would love to hear from you.
