Nick shared the pics of his latest experience on Facebook. Part of his caption reads:
"What was also surprising, is they were the same size. Same weight, same length (well, a 2cm difference), but they were around the 2.2m mark. NO! They definitely weren't the same snake."

He added that the snakes hideout was safe with lots of rats. Nick further said:
"There's likely a good rat population feasting on the duck feed hence why the mambas are visiting. Like the last catch, today's one was pretty simple. My friend, Dr. Cormac Price, who I'm doing my mamba research with, was with me to help."
