Snake season is definitely not over, and Richards Bay’s Peter ‘Daring’ Daniel on Friday night took pleasure in a fast tussle with a forest cobra at a property complex in Arboretum.
In what ended up being an ‘easy catch’ according to Daniel, the 1.8m female cobra had actually taken sanctuary in the dustbin location of the complex and needed some prising out.
Many hands make easy work, as they state, and, while Daniel had some support in the form of having dustbins vacated the method and a torch shone into the location in the fading light, he protected the snake with his tongs and carefully eked her out of her hiding location.
Seconds later on, the cobra was securely in a pail and all set for moving.
