Re: Mamba Kills Brittish Student.
I had no idea that mambas could get to be 9 feet, I had always thought they were smaller snakes.
I also feel it is sad, and I am sorry for the student and for his family; but I think that with a snake reputed to be this dangerous, as far as toxicity, that more caution would have been a good idea.

Re: Mamba Kills Brittish Student.
its also been suggested that its the fastest snake in the world!! not sure how true that is, can you imagine testing for that, a whole bunch of venomous snakes lined up... on yer marks, get set.....Go (then run like mad in the other direction)
