"My friend Duncan Slabbert joined me and his daughter Jade to help as they often do. It was nice having someone on the other end of the pipe who could capture it, just in case it came out that side," he said.

Nick said they tried flushing it out with water, but this did not work, so they had to devise another plan.

"There was this Simba ball lying around, and one of them suggested using that to block the pipe, allowing it to fill up and scare the mamba towards Duncan," he shared.

He said eventually, a wave of water came crashing out, and the mamba came out with the last flash of the water.

"It was hilarious! But I needed to catch it, not laugh. Not a nice experience for the mamba. But letting it go hunting in the complex again wasn't an option," he said.
