Nick Evans catches deadly vine snake which stopped by to "help" with the laundry at a Durban home

In another hair-raising story that involved venous serpents, Briefly News reported that brave snake rescuer Nick Evans was called to remove a big vine snake from a home in Westville, Durban.

According to Evans, the homeowner was in her kitchen when the long, thin snake came slithering past her, perching on her laundry basket before going into the passageway, where he caught it.

“I don't get many inside homes, but it's hot outside, so it's probably looking for a cool retreat,” he said on his Facebook page.

According to Kruger Park, the vine snake is also known as the twig snake for its resemblance to small branches on trees, and in some places called the bird snake for its habit of preying on small birds.
