South Africa’s well-known snake catcher Nick Evans has done it again and this time he did it with the help of a young boy. In the video shared on Facebook, Evans is helped by a brave young man in Inanda in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.
Evans says the young man from Inanda was brave enough to help catch a big snake that was hiding in the bedroom. In a lengthy post, the Durban-based snake catcher is seen in a number of photographs holding the reptile. He wrote:
“Yesterday at around midday, I was contacted by a family in the Mzinyathi area (Inanda), about a big snake in a bedroom. They'd seen it come right through the house, while they had been sitting in the lounge!
“From their description, I gathered it was likely a large Mozambique Spitting COBRA (aka, Mfezi, the Zulu name for it). I made the long drive through, but I wasn't too worried, as they said the door of the room is closed and so was the window. Although often we go to calls like this, and there are massive holes in the walls that the snakes escape out of.”

"Yesterday afternoon, in Reservoir Hills (Durban), a family were in the kitchen going about their day, when they suddenly heard a noise at the front door.
