Nick took to his Facebook page to share how the family initially thought the snake was a belt, and then it started to slither. It was a surprisingly easy catch for Nick. The poor snake was feeling the winter cold and had little energy as a result.

“It looked quite a grumpy mamba, so I approached with extra caution. But it put up no resistance at all. I pinned it down with no hassle whatsoever. As I laid hands on it, I noticed it was freezing!”

Having the passion and love for snakes that he does, Nick always tries to go the safest and best route for the snake; however, he does take the safety of others and their environment into account too.

Trying everything that he could to try and get the grumpy cobra out from the hole in the wall without having to bash into it, Nick ran out of options. Either they lived with the deadly snake or some construction had to take place… obviously, they went with option two, LOL.
