Mambas are the most dangerous and most aggressive snake in the world.
Truly trained professionals should be the only once that should keep mambas.
I like the idea of mambas being displayed in zoos but somebody has to take care of them.
But there are people trained to care for such dangerous animals.
No person is really properly trained to handle mambas.
I myself handled several docent mambas throughout my carrier.
One of the first time was a confiscation in which someone had their entire venomous snake
... collection confiscated and brought to my facility.
Among the confiscated snakes were three or four mambas that I had to place in cages.
I actually pinned a few down and some of them I used the hook.
Because the are so fast, agile and quick which makes them more dangerous than any other snake to handle.
But giving enough room and practice they become handleable.
Once I bought a mamba hatchling, raised it and I pretty much got to know its movement patterns.
It got to know my movements too but I got to know how to handle it.
Where to grab it and what little tricks there are to handling mambas.
That comes in times and with experience. That does not happen over night.
