Snakes are not a favourite in Mzansi. Not only are they seen as bad omens in many cultures, but they are also just a general fear for many people in society.

Take a look at this massive snake:

A word from the snake experts

Briefly News got in contact with Ralph Riggens from Ultimate Exotics to find out what snake this was, as well as what the man was speaking about when referring to the smell. This is what he said:

"So that's an African Rock Python, they are a protected species however they are often trouble to livestock and pets, the snake has just eaten a meal and is clearly being removed from that location, the smell they talk of is a horrid musk that the snake secretes when they feel threatened.

"The python will more than likely regurgitate (throw up) the prey item due to stress, I believe the snake catcher should have been a bit more careful with handling the snake to avoid that, but he was just chipping away with his task at hand."

Mzansi people are shocked by the size of the KZN snake

People took to the comments to share their disbelief in the size of the snake. Some were sad that the snake was in distress and hoped that it was taken care of, and released in a safe place.

Read some of the comments:

Sniper City said:

“Putting a snake under distress after a meal will only result in the snake regurgitating the meal.”

Snake video shows black mamba that had security guard fleeing his hut: Kind KZN snake catcher helps mamba shed

In related news, Briefly News reported that a black mamba is not the uninvited guest you want, making itself comfortable in your place of work. KZN snake catcher Jason Arnold rescued a terrified security guard when a mamba got into his hut.

Black mambas are undoubtedly the most feared snake in Mzansi due to their deadly venom. It takes a true professional to rescue one and show it kindness that not many would.

Taking to his YouTube channel with an awesome video of the rescue mission, Jason shows how he found the snake nestled behind a carpet.
