Black mambas have been recorded to well over 4 metres (I've often seen 4 metre ones) and they can raise the front two thirds or so of their body off the ground.

I'm told the green grows to about 3 1/2 metres or maybe a tad more.... but I've never seen one over about 2 1/2 metres.

and they can move like greased lightning.

Have you swept the visioned valley with the green stream streaking though it?
Searched the vastness for a something you have lost?
Have you strung your soul to silence? Then for God's sake go and do it
Hear the challenge, learn the lesson, pay the cost
