• Jason Arnold, known as The Snake Man, was called out to capture a massive black mamba in Clare Estate, KwaZulu-Natal
• Arnold worked strategically to safely detain the venomous 2.6-metre snake caught in the roof, which had been looking to eat newborn kittens kept in a room
• The snake handler had previously been to the same home, where he’d caught a black mamba and spitting cobra

Trained snake handler, Jason Arnold, known as The Snake Man, was called out to the Clare Estate area to rescue a large black mamba on the roof of the property in search of its next dinner.

Arnold shared a video of the rescue on his YouTube channel, where he is seen gathering his equipment and being led into the property by the residents.

He soon spotted the venomous serpent in the rafters of the home’s roof. The residents explained that it must have been in search of four newborn kittens that had been in the nearby room.

“Amazing catch! What I love most about your channel is there’s no Hoo Haa about you! No dramatic “dumm dumm” music when you snatch the head! So cavalier and relaxed. Jason, you’re a machine boet!”

“Rescuing a deadly black mamba at night looks even more terrifying. Those kittens are seriously fortunate you arrived as they would have been history! That mamba is huge in every way, long and thick, definitely the largest specimen I’ve seen recently on YouTube. I can’t believe how chilled you are with that deadly beast in your hands, fantastic job Jason!”
