After quitting her job as an investment banker in the United States to move to a new home in Zimbabwe, American expat Alex Blumy faced a harrowing "welcome". Her new home came part and parcel with a highly venomous black mamba and a large python. She went into detail about the harrowing find that would have sent most packing.

Former Wall Street banker, @alexblumy was settling into her house in Zimbabwe, and it turned out that her past 'residents' included one of the world's deadliest snakes and a powerful constrictor. A black mamba was found when they removed the thatch roof, and later they discovered a nest of snake eggs. She said the house was notorious for housing snakes, and people kept asking her how she found the house before realising they were asking about snakes. The python eggs hatched in her house.
