Western green mambas (D. viridis) inhabit coastal rainforests in West Africa.

The green mamba is a long, slender bodied snake with smooth scales and a narrow, coffin-shaped head.

Boomslangs are easy to confuse with green mambas. However, boomslangs have large eyes and the juveniles have a large emerald-colored eye.
