A South Coast man spotted a black mamba curled up inside his car engine. Thanks to the efforts of Durban snake catcher, Nick Evans, the snake was rescued and later set free.
Durban - A black mamba, measuring just over one metre, was pulled from under a panel of a car by Durban snake catcher, Nick Evans.
"In the early afternoon, he opened the bonnet to check if the snake was still there and it was. I referred it to a fellow snake rescue friend, Warren Keith Dick. We both thought it was a brown house snake but Warren after Warren set eyes on the snake, he called me for back up," Evans said. The vehicle that the snake had slithered into Picture: Nick Evans
He said he rode shotgun with the owner of the car while Dick drove closely behind, ensuring that the snake did not fall out of the car. "I managed to grab it just behind its head and pulled it out gently. The snake gaped as it was not happy to be moved," he said.
