@f2.apt cautioned:

"Not that smart. The snake could've bitten her, that's why when you carry a snake, hold it right behind its head so that it can't turn around and bite anybody."

@saniakhan.22 noted:

"Thought she was going home with the snake."

@kingjturner observed:

"She has secret hidden powers I’m almost certain! I like her."

@prettyboylarge offered:

"That's like me and my GF. She is my hero."

"This mamba was the female the boys were fighting for!"

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that well-known Durban snake handler Nick Evans is reliving the moment he had an unforgettable encounter with a deadly Black Mamba, Africa's longest venomous reptile.

Their reputation is well-earned and Evans, who on his way to the mamba call from a frightened homeowner on a particularly fateful day in July, took to recounting the tale with glee.

Turning to Facebook to share his latest experience, Evans poured over his adrenalin-pumping encounter with an impressive level of intricacy.
