A 2.2 metre Black Mamba was captured in a home on Fairview Drive in Brindhaven – KZN.
The homeowner contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) after he discovered the reptile under a vacuum cleaner in his passage. On arrival, Reaction Officers identified the snake as a Black Mamba. Professional snake catcher Jason Arnold arrived shortly thereafter and removed the highly venomous snake from the home.
The snake will be relocated to an environment away from the public.
