Eastern Cape snake catcher rescue rinkhals in TikTok video
In the TikTok video posted by the snake-catching @snakerescuekwt, the expert snake catcher is shown squaring up against the rinkhals. It looks like it wants to attack him and rears its head to strike, but the fellow knows his business and his feet move faster than a man dancing to a fantastic Amapiano song. Before you know it, the rinkhals is bagged and put away safely.
In the background of the video where the snake is being caught, one can hear the fearful residents speaking in isiXhosa and asking what kind of snake it is while ensuring they keep a safe distance.
The post caption explains that the residents who encountered it were so terrified of it that they poured Jeyes Fluid over its eyes, perhaps to prevent it from seeing them. The snake then tried to hide behind a tree. Watch the whole video here:
