WATCH: Sunday snake safely shifted

But the one he attended to on Sunday was of a totally different nature – a female brown forest cobra (naja subfulva) that had taken up residence at a home in Arboretum.

FROM his years working as a firefighter, Richards Bay resident Danie Nel is used to dealing with dangerous emergency calls.

But the one he attended to on Sunday was of a totally different nature – a female brown forest cobra (naja subfulva) that had taken up residence at a home in Arboretum.

‘I get quite a few calls, but because I am often on the road, I normally pass them on to other Zululand snake rescue handlers, so I was happy to get this chance to go myself,’ said Danie.

 

‘The forest cobra is a beautiful snake, and it was great to capture and relocate this female of close to two metres in length, at a safe location.’
