The snake had crawled into a unit above the one Nick was in and gained access to the tenant's toilet, where he found the snake and said:

"The mamba was stuck, about midway down the body. It's body was stuck between the bricks and the pipe, and it wouldn't budge."

The crazy ordeal lasted for over an hour, which included the snake rescuer being stuck in an awkward position. He then finally hatched up a plan that would eventually work:

"I noticed the pipe it was on, which led to the kitchen sink, was loosely connected. I realized if we could push it right out of there, back into the kitchen cupboard, the mamba would be free."

Nick thanked the security guard, Wayne, who helped him. South Africans were shocked by the dramatic story and commended Evans on his commitment. Read the comments below:
