| Jameson's mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni) | Neurotoxic Venom |
| The body is long and slender. An average length of 150-220 cm but can grow up to 360 cm; around 20-30% of the total length is the tail. The head is long but not so wide. The eye is small with a round pupil. The colour on the back is dark green or yellowish green, the ventral side is pale green or yellowish. The scales on the head and back are black edged which gives a sort of netting effect. Jamesoni has mostly a yellow tail. |
