“Last summer was the busiest vine snake season I've ever had. I received close to 50 calls for them. I haven't seen one of these highly venomous snakes all winter, though, which is normal for them.”

As the snake was chilling on the handlebars of a motorbike and was not the first to do so, Nick made a joke claiming these little guys are clearly keen on an adventure.

“When I arrived, the shaken snake had moved up to higher ground- on the handlebars of a motorbike. I remember catching one on a bicycle handlebar. Seems they're keen for excursions.”

In related news, Briefly News reported that snake rescuer and hero Nick Evans from Durban was exhilarated by a call from a family whose home was invaded by a venomous snake. The family from Maphephetha in Inanda was relaxing after a long day spent spring cleaning when they saw the unwelcome visitor slithering from nowhere into the house.

The deadly serpent didn't seem to pose any threat as it went straight into the bedroom. The family tried getting rid of the snake by using Jeyes Fluid to irritate it. As usual, says Nick, it didn't work. That's when he was called to the rescue.

The snake rescuer found the family calm as they waited outside. They wanted to see if the snake would come out through the door or a broken window. As Nick walked into the house, he was told that they thought the snake went under a bed.
