The creature had slithered into a wall by the time reptile conservationist, Nick Evans had arrived. Evans used the help of a builder to knock bricks from within the wall where the snake was in.
A video clip of the incident was shared on KwaZulu-Natal Amphibian and Reptile Conservation's Facebook page. The video shows how Evans reaches into the hole in the wall and sees the snake's head, in a bid to escape the snake tries to quickly slither away before being caught by Evans.
"It's a big snake, it's around 2.2 metres. I thought you were calling me for a little house snake, but no you were calling for the real deal," Evans says while extracting the snake.
