Nick shared in his post:

"We located the mamba on a TV behind an old teddy bear. To our entertainment, the mamba moved into the teddy bear. The back, where the stuffing goes, was open. With the mamba's head inside, Mr Teddy came to life, moving around."

While there was no video of the movement, Nick showed a photo of the reptile and the stuffed toy.
