The funniest black mamba call-out for Nick Evans
Updated | By Nick Evans and Di Macpherson
The highly venomous black mamba snakes don't usually inspire much laughter in those who come across them. However, in the crazy world of Snake Rescue's Nick Evans, this was the case one evening in Durban.
"I was called to Reservoir Hills, for a black mamba hiding among some clutter in a space between two walls (see the photo below). It sounded easy enough. I might need to move things, but the mamba surely had nowhere to go. Right? Wrong!" recalls Nick.
Take a listen to what went down in the latest Snake Rescue Podcast with Nick Evans. Listen below.
Meanwhile in spring time, Nick and his friend Duncan Slabbert (pictured below) were in the Paradise Valley area, removing a black mamba from a garden. While packing up, Nick got a call for what sounded like a Mozambique Spitting Cobra, hiding in a gap in the concrete, under a patio in Queensburgh.
Then, Nick realised that this wasn't just one large Mozambique Spitting Cobra, but two! But, as Nick soon discovered, to his absolute amazement, it was not just two! Listen to this episode below.
