You will meet Jesus in 25 minutes!





In 2008 - We stayed with Henry Krabbendam in his beautiful home off of Entebbe Road - about half way in between Entebbe and Kampala - It is a very green and lush area - and we had some visitors in the Men's showers - Three green mambas in the rafters! One was killed and the others slithered away -

We woke to this fellow on the patio - when asking one of the workers how dangerous the green mamba was - our only reply was "You will meet Jesus in Twenty Five Minutes!"





Here is some info I found online about Green Mambas!

The Eastern Green Mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) is a venomous snake related to the highly dangerous Black Mamba. The Green Mamba is less aggressive and smaller than the Black Mamba, they average around 6 feet. The Green Mamba's venom is also significantly less toxic, however a single bite could certainly be fatal to a human. Green mambas are highly arboreal and almost never touch the ground. They are generally found in south-eastern Africa. Like their name, Green Mambas are a lovely grass green color, but yellow when born.
