Nick Evans and the mystery of the missing hamster
Hamsters are cute little pets. However, snakes don't see them that way. To some snakes, hamsters are a very tasty snack. In the latest Snake Rescue podcast, with Nick Evans, he deals with a case where a black mamba picked up the scent of a pet hamster, and moved in.
How does he explain that to his sister? Awkward," says Nick.
Listen to the full story in the podcast below.
Meanwhile, 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.
