This species was first described in 1844 by American herpetologist Edward Hallowell. The western green mamba is a fairly large and predominantly arboreal species, capable of navigating through trees swiftly and ...
It has highest affinity to the L-type calcium channel (IC 50 = 88nM[2]). However, sensitivity of the drug on the channel depends on the species and the tissue. For example, the IC 50 for block of L-type calcium channels on a cerebellar granule cell is 0.2 nM, but the IC 50 of the block of rat peripheral DRG neuronal L-type channels is around 60 ...
The mortality rate of untreated bites is unknown but is thought to be very high (70–75%). Generally the calmest and most shy of the green mamba species, the Eastern green will still strike repeatedly if cornered or agitated. The Jameson's mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni) is known to be quite aggressive and defensive. The average venom yield per ...

According to The Telegraph, Dinkelman was bitten by an Eastern green mamba, known for its venomous bite. Dinkelman leaves his wife and three children, Taylor, 14, Maddy, 12, and Rex, 9.
The studies found dry bite incidence of anywhere between 4% and 50%. [2] It is difficult to measure dry bite incidence rates because some "wet" (envenomed) bites may go unreported or result in minor or no symptoms, or the species of snake may be misidentified (for example, a bite from a non-venomous snake attributed to a venomous one).

Keep in mind that your bite could also look like a wasp sting or even a rash from coming into contact with plants (like nettles) outside, Gangloff-Kaufmann says. Spider bite symptoms and warning signs
