WELL TYPING IN ALL CAPS ISN'T A SMART MOVE SO YOU BETTER TURN IT OFF

@Skoredger What????????

[tans40]

That helped so much. Medical people say don't do that. But it worked this time. He didn't panic either. Very brave.

With out stressing out (which would be very hard for any body) the venom didn't travel through the blood stream.

That was the key. and the expectational medical care once he got to Meserani Snake Park. $2000 US dollars later in medical treatment to save that boy. Black Mamba you lose this time. Meserani Snake Park Saves Many Lifes.

when i was in tanzania, we stayed in a masai village for a few days, and they often warned us about the mambas. we saw a few puff adders but no mambas.

[tans40]

you are lucky not have come across the Black Mamba very dangerous deadly snake.

Puff adders not so good either.

This video was taken about 7 days after the Mamba attack. It wouldnt have been very appropriate video taping him when he was lying on his death bed, with his family looking on wondering if he was going to live or die. Prier to that he was a very very sick man, and very lucky to be alive.

GO Snake Park!!!

[briebrieize]

that snake no he or she no it scared of me so i don't even wan't him or she to look at me or i will snap it up by its little tiny head so don't look at me

[Talisman09]

I was bitten by a Black mamba twice on my scrotum a few years ago. It wasn't that big a deal, I just walked it off. People exaggerate its capabilities

[Floodlezoot]

if all mambas were to disappear because you (personally) were given some godlike ability to decide that, i'd think only a fool would say "let's keep the mambas."

[snowwolfsabertooth]

not bad, it isn't rare to survive from a black mamba bite, but it isn't easy either.
