@birdsandbats already posted about Europe, so I will give you a bit on NA even though I know you asked for Europe or the UK. I believe Indianapolis Zoo still has one. Also, I suggest introducing yourself on the introduction forums.

There are lots of NA zoos with green mambas (all three species are around in NA collections as well) but there’s no nice database for us to see how many zoos or which zoos keep them.

Lol yeah, I wish there was an international zootierliste or something, at least we have zooinstitutes.

Why? Lots of people don't do that and get by just fine. It's not a requirement.

at least we have zooinstitutes.

Zooinstitutes is neat, but not comprehensive and has many outdated listings. For example, there are more than 7 zoos in the US with spotted hyena and more than 0 with Javan gibbon.

Zooinstitutes is just listing zoos which the site owner has visited. All he is doing is saying "I have seen X in these specific zoos in these specific years". It should in absolutely no way be seen as something comprehensive for species listings.

I agree, I never said it was comprehensive I just meant that it was somewhat useful.

I’d suggest that a search on zoochat is much more indicative of a species’ distribution across NA than zooinstitutes actually.
