I was one of about fifty people at the enjoyable feeding show at the Serpentarium on Saturday. The green mamba was not one of the snakes fed in the show. There were a lot of tipsy people in there, though, over from the beer tents and wine tastings, and you could smell their breaths. I saw the green mamba and it was in its cage. It was tightly coiled, hidden on top of the light in the cage. My son showed me the green edge of one of its coils hanging down. Otherwise I would have missed it. When the panic started about a green snake on top of one of the cage- buildings, the Serpentarium keeper ushered us out. It was done very professionally, as a precaution, since nobody really knew what the green snake was, it was so dark in there you could hardly see it. After about 3 minutes they let us back in. They announced it was only a harmless green snake, probably from outside. Meanwhile, the green mamba was still in its place on top of the light exactly as it was before. It had not moved an inch. I was amused at how two evidently intoxicated people kept looking inside the cage unable to see the snake. My son told them exactly where it was, but they still couldn't see it! I guess you might say that alcohol and snakes don't mix! By the way, we love the serpentarium, and have been there dozens of times. Good news reporting, too. My son was thrilled to be part of a real news story!
