Happy Rattlesnake Friday! This gorgeous shot of a Green Mamba is in our Herp Photo of the day, uploaded by kingsnake.com user fangfataleis most certainly not a rattlesnake, but it is one of our many venomous snakes that we love! With #RattlesnakeFriday, the focus is on education and conservation of venomous animals, we thought this one might be a good one! Did you know they are researching the venom of Green Mambas as a potential treatment for polycystic kidney disease? This is why the whole Rattlesnake Friday movement started! To educate about the importance of all our venomous animals, including the ones that do not buzz!
