In a post, he explained:

"The mamba hadn't gone in to kill the child. If it had, it would have succeeded. It probably didn't know the child was there until it was fairly close. I think it just wanted a cool resting place during the heat of the day, or scared in by people outside."

He continued:

"Fortunately, someone managed to get the child out when the mamba went under the bed to hide. When I arrived, I walked down the slippery slope into the small valley to where the home was. I looked under the first bed, no snake. I grew concerned. I had terrible luck this week. Surely this isn't going to be another snake I miss?"

Thankfully, this wasn't another miss for Nick because when he looked under the second bed, he saw the mamba curling up under a brick that was holding the bed up. After a tricky situation manoeuvring around, he managed to finally grab the snake with his tongs.

Two days ago, Nick almost caught four venomous snakes on one road in the suburb of Westville, but the sneaky reptiles managed to slip away back into their surroundings and left him without any catches.

First, he received separate two calls involving two Mozambique spitting cobras - one snake was said to hiding under a patio and the other was by a garage entrance. In both cases, the cobras slithered away.
