Where does a green mamba snake live?

Mambas (the black mamba and three species of green mambas) are native to Africa. The known species of green mambas are: the Eastern (Dendroaspis angusticeps) and Western (Dendroaspis viridis) Green Mambas, and Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni).

The best known of the three green mambas is the Eastern Green Mamba, or Common Mamba. Eastern Greens live mainly in the thick coastal bush of southeastern Africa, although they may also be encountered in more disturbed habitat such as gardens and mango or tea plantations. They range from Natal, South Africa in the south to southern Kenya in the north, and westward as far inland as eastern Zimbabwe and Malawi. They are highly arboreal, spending most of their time in the trees, although they have been known to descend to the ground on occasion.

Western Green Mambas are found in southern West Africa, from Guinea in the west to western Nigeria in the east. Like the Eastern Green, their preferred habitat is coastal rainforest although they may also be found in smaller patches of bush. They are highly arboreal, similar to their Eastern cousin.

The Jameson's Mamba, in spite of probably having what is probably the largest range of the green mambas, and even though it is fairly common in its range, is likely the least-studied of all the mambas. They are native to the equatorial tropical rainforest belt of Western and Central Africa, with a known range from Kenya to Burundi in the east and Ghana to Angola in the west. Their habitat preferences are similar to those of the other greens: rainforest and sometimes more disturbed habitat, provided there is still thick enough vegetation. All three green mambas are highly arboreal and are almost exclusively found in areas with dense growth (although some may reside in relatively small patches of trees); these shy, secretive snakes are superb camouflage artists, aided by their green colouration and slender, vinelike bodies.
