South African well-known snake catcher Nick Evans took to Facebook and shared how he rescued a 2.5-meter black mamba from a leaf blower in Westville, KwaZulu-Natal.
Evans' catch was not an easy one, as the snake hid in a leaf blower and refused to come outpost by Evan, a gardener had seen a black snake in a shed on many occasions but thought nothing of it. On Monday, Evans was called to the rescue.
Upon his arrival that morning, he looked for the snake in the shed. He said the shed was relatively neat, and there were not many places where a snake could hide. He looked everywhere and also briefly looked at the leaf blower, but with no luck.Evans gave up. However, the owner called him again in the afternoon, saying that they saw the snake again. The owner described the specimen as a black mamba. Evans came back to do another check in the shed.
"I put it on the floor, shone my JETBeam South Africa torch inside, and there was a very unhappy Black Mamba! In the pic below, you can see it opening its mouth at me- that means 'Go away', basically."The snake catcher thought it would be easy to remove the snake from the leaf blower, but that was not the case. The unhappy 2.4-meter snake put up a fight, and Evans didn't turn on the leaf blower to prevent injury.
Eventually, the owner came up with a genius plan. He gave Evans a screw to unassemble the leaf blower so he could rescue the mamba. The plan worked, and the snake was successfully removed from the owner's property."Lot of Mambas in the Westville area, and Durban areas but as much as these snakes are highly vernomous and deadly, there is not much mambas bite incidents unless I do not know."has gone viral on social media.
