“Strange Place to Find Pythons”: Video Shows KZN Snake Catchers Rescue 3 Massive Snakes

• Local snake expert Jason Arnold uploaded a video on YouTube showing the rescue mission of three pythons
• Jason called fellow snake enthusiast Nick Evans to assist him in rescuing the snakes in KwaZulu-Natal
• Social media users in the video's comment section showed how impressed they were with the two men

Many people fear snakes, often seeing them as dangerous and unpredictable creatures. With no fear in sight, two snake catchers successfully captured three pythons after receiving a call alerting them of the reptiles' presence.

Capturing 3 pythons

Jason Arnold, a local snake rescuer, uploaded a video on his YouTube channel (JASON ARNOLD - SNAKE HANDLER) showing how he and fellow snake handler Nick Evans (whom he called for assistance) caught pythons at a construction site near a roadside in KwaZulu-Natal.

The men could not locate the snakes on the first day, so they returned and found them in a tricky spot, requiring a TLB's assistance. After much digging and getting their hands (and bodies) dirty, Jason and Nick removed the snakes and took them to a safe place away from society.

"This was such an awesome rescue to be involved in. A strange place to find pythons. The construction workers had spotted two small males and a larger female."

He also noted that although the rescue mission required much hard work and patience, it was all worth it.
