“The caller said that there was a snake on her driveway, she thought maybe it was a cobra. I had captured a cobra in their garage on Christmas day a few years back. I was five minutes away, fortunately. I received a photo as I arrived, and quickly looked.
"It was a black mamba. Another one! I didn’t like my chances of catching it. It was on the driveway, but right near some bush. If it went in there, it would be tough.”
