Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
It's officially snake season, which means these beautiful reptiles will be popping up everywhere - even in your work space.

As the days warm up, these serpents will be looking for places to hide, as well as for a meal.
According to Zululand Observer, ‘Fearless Fred’ Lubbe got a call to remove a snake from a factory on Monday. At first, it sounded like he was going to rescue a python because of the way a guy described the snake to him.

Upon arrival, Fred was amazed to find a 1.8m Forest Cobra which weighed an incredible 1.6kg. After a period of sussing out the situation, Fred caught the healthy reptile and it was put into a safe enclosure, ready for release in a more remote location.
