A Remarkable Day for a Durban Snake Catcher: 4 Black Mambas Captured at Once!

Imagine stumbling upon not one, not two, but four black mambas in a single day. Now, for most people, that would be an unthinkable stroke of misfortune. However, for someone like me, a dedicated snake catcher from Durban, South Africa, it was an exhilarating stroke of luck. You see, on a fateful Sunday, I had the extraordinary opportunity to apprehend not one, but four venomous black mambas in just twenty-four hours.

Hey there! Did you know that the Black Mamba is the speediest snake on the planet? It can slither at an incredible speed of 4.32 to 5.4 meters per second. This means it can cover some serious ground in no time. Pretty impressive, right?

Speaking of Black Mambas, I came across this interesting story on Facebook. A guy named Evans had quite the wild adventure. He actually caught not one, not two, but four mambas in a single day! Can you imagine that? That’s what I call a crazy day!

Evans shared his thrilling experience on Facebook, saying, “Yesterday was an absolutely crazy day. I caught four mambas, the most I’ve caught in a day.” It must have been quite a rush!

Let me tell you about his first encounter. It all started early in the morning on a road off Varsity Drive in Reservoir Hills. Evans spotted a mamba trying to hide itself in a trench that had recently been dug up and filled. It seems like the snake thought it would find some sneaky hiding spot there.

When Evans and his buddy, Nick Saunders, heard about the sighting, they wasted no time. They zoomed over to the scene faster than lightning. But here’s the interesting part, a security officer from Blue Security stuck around to keep an eye on the snake while Evans and Saunders came rushing over. Safety first, right?

Imagine the adrenaline rush they must have felt! Catching a speedy Black Mamba is no easy task. But these guys were up for the challenge. It’s incredible what people can do when they work together and keep their cool. Hats off to Evans and Saunders!

When my partner, Saunders, and I arrived on the scene, we immediately got to work. Saunders grabbed hold of the snake’s tail while I carefully dug away at the rubble and sand surrounding it. It was a delicate operation that required precision and teamwork.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, we managed to secure the snake. But as we looked at our captive, we realized that something was different. This wasn’t just any snake – it was a heavily pregnant female Black Mamba.

In that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder why she had ended up in this ditch. Was she trying to find a safe place to lay her eggs? It was fascinating to think about the instinctive behaviors of these creatures and the lengths they would go to protect their young.

On my Facebook page, I shared the details of our encounter. I noted that the snake measured approximately 2.3 meters in length and weighed around 3 kilograms. It was an impressive specimen, to say the least.

As for the eggs, they would remain in the ground for a few more months before hatching. I couldn’t help but be amazed by the miracle of life unfolding right before our eyes. It was a reminder of the wondrous complexities of the natural world.

When I heard about the second snake, I couldn’t believe it. Apparently, it was spotted at a house on Heron Street in Kharawastan, Chatsworth. How did I find out? Well, the homeowner’s security company sent me a video of the snake slithering around the property.

Let me tell you, that snake wasn’t going down without a fight. It put up quite the struggle when I tried to wrangle it. But in the end, I was able to get it under control. The snake turned out to be a female, weighing in at 3 kilograms and measuring a whopping 2.6 meters long.

So, get this—I heard from Evans that he had not one, but two snake encounters on Northcliff Road in Queensburgh. Crazy, right? It all started when this homeowner tipped off Evans about a Black Mamba in their driveway. When Evans got there, he thought the snake was toast because it was as still as a statue, even with all the hustle and bustle going on around it. But guess what? Turns out the snake was just chillin’ and perfectly fine. It actually responded to Evans when he approached it. Talk about a plot twist! In the end, Evans managed to capture and safely contain the sneaky critter.

So get this: there’s this guy named Evans, right? He’s this animal expert who gets called out to deal with wild creatures and stuff. One day, he gets a call from a homeowner who found a snake in their backyard. Evans goes over and, surprise, surprise, it turns out to be a Black Mamba! And not just any Black Mamba, mind you, but one of the most deadly snakes in the world.

But wait, there’s more! As if one deadly snake wasn’t enough, Evans gets a call from the same homeowner a few days later. This time, it’s not about a snake, but about the snake’s shed skin. And guess what? It turns out that the shed skin belongs to another Black Mamba! Can you believe it? Now Evans has to deal with two of these dangerous creatures!

You might be wondering how Evans managed to handle the situation. Well, let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. He had to wrestle with that second Black Mamba to subdue and capture it. Talk about a thrilling showdown, right?

After everything was said and done, Evans couldn’t believe his luck. He said it was “one of the most amazing calls” he’s ever had. I guess you could say it was his lucky day!
