"Watched an episode of Snake Season today. Awesome entertainment, especially when you caught 2 mambas in the same roof. Question: Do the owners have to fix the roof themselves afterwards?"

In more news about Durban's snake rescuer, Briefly News previously reported that Nick Evans was at his mamba rescuing again and this time it was at a Bellair, Durban home after it was discovered in a shed on the property.

“After some searching, without success, I was sure it had exited the shed through one of the many gaps, and into the bush next door. But, just as I was about to call it quits, I moved something, and a head appeared. The mamba was in an old hide box!” said Evans.

He explained that he attempted to slowly drag the box into a more open position, but the mamba explosively shot out of there, giving him quite the fright. Fortunately, he managed to quickly pin it down.
