Mzansi snake expert says this visitor is harmless

While the woman freaked, and rightfully so, Ralph Riggens from Ultimate Exotics says that these slithering guests make thei way into a lot of peoples home sin SA.

"It is a common Rhombic Night Adder (Causus rhombeatus). Probably the most common snake around homes in South Africa, they are primarily Frog feeders and will hunt toads down in and around homes close to wetland areas. They are venomous but not deadly, although bites are said to be extremely painful! Not a welcomed visitor for many "
