14-year-old Kivash Munesar got to experience something he has never seen before, all thanks to the beauty of Mother Nature.

Kivash was with his family at Wagendrift Dam yesterday (December 11) and was returning from the bathroom when a movement caught his eye.

“At first I thought I had seen an iguana but then I realised it was a snake eating a frog,” exclaimed Kivash.

The young man was not perturbed by the snake (which he later identified as a Night Adder, thanks to Google) and called out to his family to come closer.

He says that the snake did not seem bothered by their presence and went about eating the frog before it slithered off.

“We warned the other people that were around about the snake but we didn’t see it again. I was quite excited because it was the first time I had seen a Night Adder,” added Kivash.

Night Adders are described as generally docile reptiles but will become aggressive if threatened. Night Adder venom is cytotoxic and most bites are not serious – causing pain and swelling.
