One of the most insane snake removals of two Cape Cobras
When the reptile expert calls it "disastrous", then it's time to worry...
Besides the obvious reasons, snakes have a way of rubbing people the wrong way.
And for an office park somewhere near Cape Town Airport, it was a case of two (potentially three) snakes rubbing them the wrong way.
Tyrone Ping, a reptile and amphibian lover, turned his hobby into his work and captures snakes that find themselves in unwanted spaces. He releases them into safe spaces and records his experiences.
Most recently, things got out of control when he was trying to safely capture two highly venomous Cape Cobras located in an office.
The report said that they saw three snakes and he believed this to be quite sketchy. He said that sometimes people think they have seen snakes, but it turns out to be electrical cables.
But when Ping arrived on site, after having to open what seemed like a well secured room, he found two Cape Cobras.
Watch the TikTok video of him capturing the snakes. It is safe to say that even Ping was challenged by these snakes...
