Massive black mamba in Durban gives Nick a run for his money

--:--
Nick Evans really don’t like it when he’s called out to rescue a snake, and he can’t locate it.
“I've never thought of myself as competitive, but I guess when it comes to rescuing snakes, I am! I get so determined because I know if I don't find it, there's a chance the snake will eventually get killed. Or, perhaps, a dog or person could be bitten. I was frustrated on this morning - when I could not locate the large resident Black Mamba on a property at Reservoir Hills, just north west of Durban. But later that same day, when it was seen again, I was determined to find it and take it to a safer place,” says Nick.
