In other snake-catching news, Briefly News reported on Nick Evans helping a woman with—a black mamba in her home. Nick took to his Facebook page to share how the woman called him in a panic to come to get a black mamba that had killed her bird and almost her dog.

Despite losing their feathered baby, the people understood and were happy Nick got the snake. She said:

“Honestly, I was absolutely petrified. I have had a big phobia of snakes since young and I am so scared of them. Well, I first tried calling my husband who wasn't answering and then I somehow remembered I had Nick's number. It was a rather emotional experience trying to make a call, shaking and trying to keep an eye on it, while trying to get my boerboel out the way and out the house.”
