Lesly Meyer said:
“There seems to be an abundance of mambas this year. Is there an increase in numbers or are we just being made more aware on a regular basis?”
Nick Evans- Snake Rescuer gave a thorough answer:
“Lesly Meyer hard to say if there's an increase. Perhaps. It is something I'm trying to figure out for sure through research. But Durban has many greenbelts/reserves/valleys. Good habitat with decent supply of natural food. Also, lots of House Rats, and feral cats (they'll eat kittens). Also, 4 million people +-, so many, many eyes. The green belts I mention are all very restricted, surrounded by homes.”
Lesly Meyer said:
“Nick Evans- Snake Rescuer Thanks Nick. Keep up your excellent work. Looking forward to your next TV show. I learnt so much from watching …”
Snake rescuer Nick Evans has Mzansi on their edges of their seats with latest catch
Durban-based snake rescuer Nick Evans has caught one more black mamba but describes his latest catch as harrowing.
"I've been trying to catch two black mambas living in a garden refuse pile at a complex in Queensburgh. They'd been there for a few weeks but no one was happy about it. Fair enough."
Evans said he attempted to catch the snakes last week.
“I arrived and started approaching slowly. I got closer and closer, and my heart rate went up. ‘Is this the time I catch one?’ I was thinking, not quite believing my luck. I was right on top of it, reached down with the tongs, and grabbed it!”
He said the snake went “ballistic” when he grabbed it.
