He used his endoscope to spot the ‘party’ going on in the hole.
“I removed the eggs safely and took them to Pure Venom Reptile Park to be incubated.
“I released the chameleon in a lovely garden and then had to rush to KwaNzimakwe where I caught a green mamba in a tree next to a resident’s toilet. I was chuffed to leave a happy family behind,” said Sarel.
The day before, he had had a call out to Umzumbe for a green mamba.
The snake escaped and he had to bag it in the tree.
“You can’t exactly climb down a tree with a mamba in your hand,” chuckled Sarel.
