WATCH: Trio of serpents for Richards Bay snake catchers

Local snake catcher Peter ‘Daring’ Daniel has had his tongs full recently, with numerous snake call-outs in the late summer scorching temperatures.

A call-out to the Richards Bay harbour led to the capture of a python by Peter’s 13-year-old son, Mason, aka ‘Snakemason’.

Grateful that his son is following in his footsteps, Peter said, “It can be nerve-racking to think about because I know that the day for him to start dealing with venomous snakes is coming.”

For now though, nature-loving Mason will have to leave the deadly catches to Peter, and in true Daring style he caught a 2.2m black mamba at a construction site in Empangeni.
