Snake rescuer, Nick Evans made a detour on his way home last night to catch a Black Mamba found lying on a pair of shoes in a Westville North home.
According to Evans he was on his way home from dinner with his wife when he received the phone call.
“A woman’s five-year-old grandson walked into one of the bedrooms and saw a 2.1m Black Mamba in front of him. Apparently, he came out shaking. The snake got an equally big fright and dashed under the bed,” said Evans.

He said the snake would often flee than take the opportunity to bite.
“We hardly see any bites in Durban. I get so many calls where mambas could have bitten people but opt not to. Escape is a priority. The family were shocked when I confirmed the snake was a Black Mamba. It made for a pretty easy catch,” said Evans.
He noted the snake may have gone into the home to find respite from the heat.
