I don’t know about you but that sounds a bit exclusionary. What was behind that question? Did she couch it in Irish patriotism for a reason? Hmmm …
After all, there’s nothing inherently creepy about these green animals, is there? Just because the Emerald Green Boa can squeeze the life out of your German Shepherd is no reason to be hateful.
The Eastern Green Mamba is nothing to be afraid of unless you’re traveling to Southern Africa or East Africa. In that case, this beautiful, highly venomous snake ambushes its prey. They live in tropical forests where their color allows them to blend in with the surrounding vegetation.
Just know that it’s not the Green Mamba’s fault if you randomly wander into its territory. No hate.
