In the peak of the black mamba season, Nick Evans was called to a home in Clare Estate, near Reservoir Hills - where a large black mamba had been seen slithering up into the roof.
“A mamba in a roof left me with mixed emotions. I was excited, of course, but a little wary. Chasing a black mamba in a ceiling could be considered somewhat dangerous. But, what I was perhaps most worried about was the heat!”
At around 25 degrees Celcius outside, Nick was expecting extremely hot conditions in the ceiling. Plus, it’s pretty dark up there.
