Nick wades into flooded, cockroach-infested room to rescue mamba
A day after a wild and stormy evening of torrential
rainfall, which caused flooding and severe damage to some areas in the Greater
Durban area, Nick Evans was called to a container storage yard near Albert
Luthuli Hospital.
A large snake had just crawled into a flooded office.
“A flooded office? That's not a place I've caught a snake before!” says Nick.
“And it was not just a case of the floor being wet, or even ankle-high water levels. Or clean water, I might add,” added Nick.
Here, the mamba was the least of his worries!
Listen to hear how Nick handled this situation, and if he managed to rescue the snake.
