Habitat
Western green mambas live mainly in the coastal tropical rainforest, thicket, and woodland regions of western Africa. Although mainly found in dense and closed forests, these snakes can persist in areas where the tree cover has been removed, providing that sufficient hedges and thicket remain. In areas where there is very severe encroachment on their natural habitat or areas where vegetation or trees have been destroyed, these snakes will go into suitably vegetated city suburbs and towns often dwelling in the thickets of bushes or atop lush trees in parks and other well vegetated areas.
