A South African well-known snake rescuer, Nick Evans and his partner Dr. Carla Goede had their hands full over the weekend. The two caught 5 mambas in KwaZulu-Natal.

According to a Facebook post by Nick Evans, they rescued the first mamba on Friday in Westville North. A dog alerted its owner to a snake at the bottom of his garden, on the ground among some shrubs, by his boundary fence. The duo arrived and saved the day.

They moved to their second location in Queensburgh, Escombe. A black mamba was seen near a front door, but at the site of humans, moved down and out the property, hiding among a patch of Agave. They rescued the 2.5m+- snake.
