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 ...

Fasciculin 1, Dendroaspis angusticeps (green mamba). Fasciculins are a class of toxic proteins found in certain snake venoms, notably some species of mamba.Investigations have revealed distinct forms in some green mamba venoms, in particular FAS1 and FAS2 [1] Fasciculins are so called because they cause intense fasciculation in muscle fascicles of susceptible organisms, such as the preferred ...
Overall, the venom of the western green mamba is more potent than that of the eastern green mamba, similar or slightly less potent than that of Jameson's mamba, and much less potent than that of the black mamba. [9] The venom consists mainly of both pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurotoxins, cardiotoxins, [27] and fasciculins. The toxicity of ...
