While the Instagram account didn't provide much information, it did share Arrive Alive's link explaining pedestrian safety from snakes and snake bites.

A portion of the article informed South Africans:

"Traditionally, snakes were mostly seen in rural areas and farms, or at least where properties were very bushy. However, encounters in urban areas are becoming common, especially along the coastal belt with high humidity."

Several social media users were stunned to see the snake, at first thinking it was a giraffe reaching high into the tree. In true South African fashion, some people also cracked jokes about the reptile, likening it to their exes and wondering about the location so that they could avoid the area.
