The funniest black mamba call-out for Nick Evans

"I was called to Reservoir Hills, for a black mamba hiding among some clutter in a space between two walls (see the photo below). It sounded easy enough. I might need to move things, but the mamba surely had nowhere to go. Right? Wrong!" recalls Nick.

"This turned into a very difficult catch. However, despite being frustrated at times, I was kept smiling by the residents, who kept cracking jokes!"

Take a listen to what went down in the latest Snake Rescue Podcast with Nick Evans. Listen below.

Meanwhile in spring time, Nick and his friend Duncan Slabbert (pictured below) were in the Paradise Valley area, removing a black mamba from a garden. While packing up, Nick got a call for what sounded like a Mozambique Spitting Cobra, hiding in a gap in the concrete, under a patio in Queensburgh.

It was actually a woman's 'smoking area' at home - which was clearly no longer a relaxing place for her! When Nick arrived, he shone his torch into the gap, and saw a large Mozambique Spitting Cobra.

Then, Nick realised that this wasn't just one large Mozambique Spitting Cobra, but two! But, as Nick soon discovered, to his absolute amazement, it was not just two! Listen to this episode below.
