Snakes play mind games...
We know snakes to be sneaky creatures, and it feels like more and more we are finding them creeping their way into homes and businesses around KZN.
A green mamba recently found its way into a medical facility in the Berea area and is said to have been a nuisance to the staff there.
We cannot imagine knowing there was a green mamba at our offices and having to go there daily.

'Jason Arnold, the “Snake Man”, said a green mamba had tormented staff at a medical facility on Clark Road, Berea, for a few weeks before he removed it.' (MSN)
It seemed the green mamba was not ready to just leave its new-found home and put up a struggle.
Arnold not only had to move from the original property to plan out his capture, but also had to jump a wall to get to the green guy who was in a tree.

The green mamba, which Arnold said was quite big for its breed, was around 1.6m to 1.7m.
The snake has been playing a long game of hide-and-seek with the hospital staff and Arnold was lucky to have finally caught it.
