Massive 2.3m black mamba chills behind couch in KZN home
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that another black mamba slithered its way into a KZN home recently but thankfully snake rescuer Nick Evans was available to save the day. He received the call about the unannounced visitor on Boxing Day, Sunday, 26 December.
Evans shared that a lady had been relaxing while sitting on a chair, with her feet up when suddenly, a large snake slithered out behind the couch that her feet had been on.
“Somehow, she didn't fall over backward. I'd expect most people would. I raced over, and thankfully, the snake had stayed behind the couch and made for a quick and easy catch. About a 2.3m specimen,” he said.
In his Facebook post, Evans said the domestic worker in the home had unknowingly been cleaning around the couch a short while before the snake was seen.
