Nick wades into flooded, cockroach-infested room to rescue mamba
Updated | By Di Macpherson
A day after a wild and stormy evening of torrential
rainfall, which caused flooding and severe damage to some areas in the Greater
Durban area, Nick Evans was called to a container storage yard near Albert
Luthuli Hospital.
A large snake had just crawled into a flooded office.
“A flooded office? That's not a place I've caught a snake before!” says Nick.
“And it was not just a case of the floor being wet, or even ankle-high water levels. Or clean water, I might add,” added Nick.
Here, the mamba was the least of his worries!
Listen to hear how Nick handled this situation, and if he managed to rescue the snake.

Nick's organisation, KwaZulu-Natal Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, is a chapter of The Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation.
