Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Black Mamba Question.

I have done a lot of hog hunting in Florida & its common for a dog to be treated with a special electroshock device. I have read several articles by US doctors that claim it doesn't work on humans. I also remember reading an article where a doctor or vet, not sure which, treated a lot of Indians in South American jungles with electroshock with almost 100% success. I was almost bitten by a 6 1/2' Diamondback Rattler in Florida. I shot the snake after it struck at me & have it mounted in my trophy room. With only 3 trips to SA I have never seen a snake, & would prefer to keep it that way. I have always been told to stay away from termite mounds. One area I hunted was full of termite mounds & the PH/owner of the concession stated many had contained Mamba's. He spent several years pouring gas on them & burning any snakes. He is deadly afraid of snakes so the story may be true.
