2.4m black mamba rescued in Reservoir Hills
While Evans was moving equipment out of the way in an attempt to reach the snake, it slithered into a hole in the boundary wall.
“The mamba came out, very cautiously. I grabbed the neck with the tongs and jumped off of the ladder,” said Evans.
“The last few mambas I’ve caught have been small, so it was nice to get a big healthy one again,” said Evans.
