Updated By Di Macpherson & Nick Evans Share this: During Lockdown Level 3, Snake Rescue's Nick Evans received a call to help retrieve a Black Mamba from a storeroom in some horse stables on the KZN North Coast. It was to be a difficult, and dirty rescue operation. Nick Evans A large storage area full of big boxes and all sorts of things for a snake to hide under or behind-not an ideal situation for a snake catcher, but a great place for a Black Mamba! Nick had lots to move at these stables. It was hard work in hot weather! "The mamba was trying its best to stay hidden away from me, showing how these snakes would rather avoid conflict than have it," says Nick.
