Valuable racing pigeons picked off by hungry mamba

A pigeon loft - a place a Black Mamba simply cannot refuse to visit!  Snake Rescue's Nick Evans received a call from a pigeon loft owner, at Mount Moreland on the KZN north coast, for an unwanted visitor: a Black Mamba!

Unfortunately for the owner, there were casualties already, so Nick needed to get there quickly.

"Fortunately for me and the mamba, this was an understanding pigeon loft owner, who wasn't going to kill the snake," says Nick.

In fact the owner of the property is no stranger to snakes on his land, as you'll hear.

Meanwhile, a python call at 2am! That's one way to get Snake Rescue’s Nick Evans out of bed at that time! When the large snake was seen on a factory property out in the Cato Ridge area, security staff were worried and called Nick.

Listen to the details of this rescue below.
