have you ever seen a black mamba in the wild

I don't recall seeing one (it was pre-kindergarden when I lived in Tanzania, so my memory is rather fuzzy).

i think also there the most populous in the kalahari and namib deserts in the south.the serengetti is more eastern green mamba terratory,i think from what read

We (at least that what I was told, as per my young age mentioned above) had black mambas, eastern green mambas and spitting cobras in Tanzania.

The black mamba is likely the most dangerous snake in the world, though, because the chance of surviving a bite is so low (apparently, there was a 100 percent reported fatality rate until the invention of a working anti-venom in 1967), and even then you still need to have the anti-venom at hand and quick access to a hospital. Can be problematic getting to a hospital when black mamba venom can be lethal within 30 minutes.

The puff adder is actually responsible for most snake bite fatalities in Africa (because of its wide habitat and frequent contact with humans), but its venom is both (1) less lethal and (2) slower-working than that of the black mamba (last time I checked, fatality from a serious puff adder envenomation occurs within 12-24 hours, which provides more time for administering anti-venom and getting the victim to a hospital).

i have heard that too.puff adders are rarely deadly much like american rattle snakes,much like american rattle snakes puff adders deliver a hemo toxic venom that lead to amputation and such.and the bite is very painfull.the one good thing about a mamba bite or a cobra is that the bit is painless and if they dont kill you the bite wont leave long lasting injuries.

i would if i lived in said countries i like my firearms to much
