All the people who are not choosing to chill with a usually calm intelligent mammal because “snakes will get out of your way” apparently don’t know shit about black mambas:
Skittish and often unpredictable, the black mamba is agile and can move quickly. In the wild, black mambas seldom tolerate humans approaching more closely than about 40 metres (130 ft)
When confronted, it is likely to engage in a threat display
During the threat display, any sudden movement by the intruder may provoke the snake into performing a series of rapid strikes, leading to severe envenomation
Give me a big strong dude intelligent enough to leave you alone after you’re demonstrated that you’re not a threat any day!
The black mamba’s reputation for being ready to attack is exaggerated; it is usually provoked by perceived threats such as the blocking of its movements and ability to retreat.
Despite its reputation as a formidable and highly aggressive species, the black mamba attacks humans only if it is threatened or cornered.
As long as you’re careful about displaying submissive body language and not getting too close, the worst thing that could happen is probably that he gets to snack on fruit and ignores you 🤷
Probably have to REALLY know what you’re doing though lol

Malls have food, I’d be that gorillas personal chef for 24 hours
That was my thought. Me and my new best friend are going to learn to make pretzels! Together!
Turns out the prompt wasn’t for a survival horror but a buddy movie
Couldn’t you just like go in an upstairs bathroom and just lock the door?
The snakes could go down the drain of a toilet in the other restroom, and come out inside your restroom.
I am sick of these mother fucking snakes in the mother fucking bathroom
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING BATHROOM
Maybe, but that would work with the Silverback too 🤷
Regardless, 24 hours locked in a bathroom could be its own kind of hell tbh…
Meh that isn’t too far away from my life most days. Except I don’t have to wash dishes.
From the same Wikipedia article:
Good thing there’s no corners or enclosed areas in malls
Just lock yourself in. Try finding a door that can withstand a gorilla tho.
That’s true. I read gorillas require that you invite them in. Also they’re afraid of crosses and holy water.
Yup, I’d feel much safer with a gorilla. But I’m stupid enough to try to befriend him with fruits lol
