Chris Wilken shows us the big angry black mamba HD

We visited Lowveld Venom Suppliers where Chris Wilken handled the venom and non-venomous snakes. We could get very close to the snakes, an we got a lot of good pictures and video. We saw the following snakes:
Snouted Cobra
Puff Adder
Indian Cobra
Boom slang
Black Mamba
Rock Python
Forest Cobra
Night Adder

I’m South African, and seeing many comments of people who just don’t understand what we are dealing with here...THE BLACK MAMBA is one EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NIMBLY FAST SNAKE...believe me,you don’t ever wanna cross paths with this thing,unlike most snakes,this highly venomous snake is not your typical flight snake,this guy does actually go 360,turn around to fight back when really threatened,and he bites with such ferocious quickness that you won’t know what hit you... when you see a BLACK MAMBA folks,run for dear life...ningathi angin’tshelanga ke ✌🏿🇿🇦

I would like to someday see one this Robust have the slim trait to break 4+ meters. My comment added to wrong spot ,cursor must have moved. "Jason Arnold Snake handler" is "Building up rescued female now , preparing for release that is a big girl,but never even smiles (which is good trait for a mamba). He sets with her in the enclosure pushing her 7-8 mice a feeding and she is in her glory,probably would choose to not get released so happy,then are males it seems who will never get used to captivity. This example will never be adjusted to captivity,he is miserable hell. I'd release to get a huge multi partition enclosure.
