    black mambas have been known to give chase. their ability to move as quickly as they do makes them the most dangerous snake on earth. if you encounter an adult in the wild and it notices you, the odds of getting bitten are incredibly high.

    From everything I have read Wizill, Black Mambas are extremely hesitant to attack unless they feel they are threatened. Now if you happen to step on one, or step close to some brush its in, then you may get bit right away. However like I said before, Black Mamba's have a very predictable pre-attack "to-do list". Now if you suddenly notice you are being chased by a Mamba for no reason, more then likely you disturbed it without noticing and didn't notice the warning signs of a strike. Most recorded black mamba bites are records of them biting trainers who are handling them. Not attacks in the wild.

    I agree with the Green Anaconda comment. Out in the wild they have attacked shorter stature human's mistaking them for food. At least that's what I read somewhere ^_^

    What snake in your experience or opinion do you think was or would be a very tricky and dangerous serpent to be dealing with on a daily basis...????

    I don't know. I don't think I can generalize one species on a few individual specimens. But I did work with this one burmese python who was approx. 12 feet. He would strike at everything. He probably tagged me 10 times total. Nasty snake. But I have also worked with at least one hundred mellow burmese pythons. But that guy was a DO NOT mess with snake.
    Thanks
