Jameson's mamba is, in my opinion, one of the most handsome snakes in world. The "Aston Martin" of snakes is a pretty sizable, slender snake with smooth scales. The average length of an adult snake is approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) to 2.2 meters (7.2 ft), but they can grow as large as 2.60 meters (8 ft 8 in) I photographed this gorgeous almost exclusively arboreal elapid snake in Cameroon on assignment for @natgeo. Since this species is mainly arboreal, birds make up a large portion of their diet. Go to @mattiasklumofficial to see a Jameson's mamba with prey. Small mammals such as mice, bats and lizards are also preyed upon. #mamba #beauty #killer #venom #science #cameroon#astonmartin #conservation @thephotosociety @natgeo
