“Everytime I have gone out, its proved difficult to find. The people that reported it said there are a few rats around so that could have drawn the snake to the area. Initially I suspect it was a Mozambique spitting cobra because I’ve got a few near the Hawaan Forest but I was shocked when the residents saying it was a black mamba. The residents said the snake was lying motionless on their lawn,” he said.
He urged residents not to approach any snake and to contact a professional. Contact Jason Arnold on 082 745 6375.
