Nick took to his Facebook page with a clip of the tiny black mamba, which had a feisty nature. He explained that the small ones are normally sassier than the adults only because they are more scared of the outside world being so small.

“They grow quickly, generally. I was surprised that this one was still less than 60cm. At this size, they're always more grumpy than adults! In saying that, they're just more terrified.”
