A chameleon stands dead still, hoping to blend in with its surroundings when a snake gets close by. Unfortunately for the chameleon, the snake zeros in on it and strikes it rapidly. The chameleon puts up a fight, but is it enough? 🫣Send in your wildlife video here, and earn money: www.latestsightings.com/partn...

They're also two toned, but solid in color, mostly a dark slate gray, to black with lighter belly scales. The black within the mouth of black mamba, how it truly gets its name is missing here with this snake. Mambas are also front fanged snakes, this snake in the video was obviously rear fanged, because it had to open its mouth wider to actually deliver the bite. All this said, it is a female grey toned Boomslang.

You will see that it is indeed NOT a Black Mamba, but a female boomslang. If you won't take my word for it, a simple bit of research will also lead you to the same answer. It simply wasn't correct information given by the people recording the sighting - it happens. Just taking someone's word for anything and assuming what they say is true, doesn't make it true.

It's what you can't see is the real story. As the chameleon turns sideways to the black mamba, it's not only a size increase but a heat increase as well. Chameleons are a weird reptile in that they can handle high-altitude misty cold, as canopy dwellers are subject to frost exposure, thus they have a trick borrowed from their color changing to blush warmer blood to the surface. In doing so, the snake's infrared detection registers an increased blur, a blur which wobbles in a circle through swaying branch mimicry. Black mamba however is also a visual hunter, but the color of the chameleon might be difficult to see, and so from the snake's perspective the chameleon looks like a moving blob of warm sunlight hitting the ground, hence for a brief moment the snake may have actually lost the chameleon? By changing perspective it re-found it.

But that's not a Black Mamba, Mambas have a distinctly coffin shaped elongated mouth. This was a Boomslang. You can tell because of the minimized pattern on the two-toned body. The non-coffin shaped head is also a give away, like I said. Black Mambas are darker and non-patterned, even in their juvenile/younger forms. A child in the video called it black mamba, but it wasn't.

@@austinb3560 negative, they change colors for danger, mating, attracting sun in the morning and a few other reasons like sleeping which is the best time to take a pic of their pretty color formation. The way they blend in to the surroundings is by acting like a leaf and swaying. The feet are zygodactylus, if you had one on a pencil it can hold on 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees. If you walked by one it would go 90 or 270 on the branch away from you. Mine was blue and I could not find him back in a green tree and when I did he was right in front of me the whole time. They will also make themselves very thin when they sway. Check out the Panther Chameleon and its subspecies of colorations. I had Veiled and Jackson Chameleons...oddly the Veiled layed eggs in the ground and the Jackson had eggs sacks that would stick to leaves and the neonates break out of.

To me it looks like a Boomslang, which is a rear-fang venomous snake. They regularly hunt chameleons. Rear fanged snakes need to grind their fangs into their prey in order to inject their venom sufficiently. That is why it may have went in and bit twice, just to make sure. Actually makes them more tricky to hold, since they can rotate their jaw, even slightly and catch a finger. Most venom extractors would tell you that they'd rather deal with front fanged snakes. Venom is rather slow acting depending on the toxicity, amount injected, and where on the body (if it hit skin, muscle, or vein). Irregardless, venom doesn't instantly kill anything. I wouldn't know how long Boomslang venom takes to kill a chameleon. Venom does seem to impact mammals faster than fish/reptiles. But it definitely wasn't a Black Mamba, which is what a younger person said in the video.

@@jeremy6017 Thanks. Compared this video with pix of the Boomslang species. Dealt with a small viper when i was a kid at some point back during jurassic era. (40 years ago) Was always fascinated about snakes and reptilians. Couldn't place this one however. Black or Green Mamba we know it is not.

@@bohemianwriter1 Yeah, what makes this one difficult, is the speed at which the snake is peri-scoping and moving. The giveaways to me though, is how the snake bit the chameleon. If you notice, it had to open its mouth at a significantly wider angle than most snakes. Which indicated to me, that it was rear-fanged. It also wasn't a bite and release, the snake held on for a few seconds. Also, with Boomslangs there are variations. They're sexually dimorphic, which means males look different than females. So that makes them more easily overlooked, if they're female. Males are striking, with the green scaled with blue or black spotting throughout. Females are more olive to gray toned, with a brown or grayish more subdued pattern. It also isn't the biggest boomslang I've ever seen either. So this specimen, although I think is reaching sexual maturity, still has some growth and filling out to do in her lifetime. I also learned that they have a hemotoxic sort of venom, which would explain the lack of seeming, injury to the chameleon itself. It would have taken time for the blood to begin to break down and not clot. So it is more slow acting than the Mamba who has a neurotoxic venom and doesn't have the enzyme that would cause necrosis at the point of envenomation. I find that vipers are easier to tell what they are, their facial structure and larger venom glands typically give them away. These slender speedy snakes are difficult.
