Saturday evening I was called out to a house in Parklands North where the residents had spotted a snake in their living room, but by the time I got there the snake was gone.
Today, just a couple of houses down the street, residents found what may be the same animal in their back yard - they called Parklands Neighborhood Watch who called me, and I captured it for them.

Also known as a "Koperkapel" or "Geelslang" in Afrikaans, the Cape Cobra is a common venomous snake in our area that can range in color from yellow through reddish brown to black.
When threatened or cornered, it's quick to spread a hood and won't hesitate to bite. Cape Cobra venom is highly neurotoxic (the most potent of any African cobra), which means that it attacks the nervous system and causes respiratory collapse (the victim stops breathing), which in turn leads to suffocation.
As in most cases, this snake was doing its best to try and get away from us humans. Even though it's essential to be respectful of the danger that a snake like a Cape Cobra poses, if you give them room to escape they will always try to get away and hide - there's no snake in South Africa that will aggressively chase you.

I was called out earlier today by someone who found this Cape Cobra waiting for them in their laundry - they closed and blocked the door while I was on my way, and once I got there it was a quick capture.

RHOMB

Rhombic Egg-Eater (Dasypeltis scabra) - harmless.
*Please click on the button below to "Share" this post!*

I picked up this Common Egg-Eater (also known as a Rhombic Egg-Eater) from someone in West Beach yesterday - back in January they saw some cats chasing the snake in their complex and after they saved it they decided to keep it as a pet.
This is very illegal and considered poaching by nature conservation - please don’t ever take snakes out of the wild! If you’d like to get a pet snake, get in touch with me and I’ll connect you with registered breeders who can help you get the animal, enclosure, equipment, and permits you need.
Although completely harmless, people often get a fright and kill Egg-Eaters due to their defensive posturing - they coil their bodies and rub their keeled scales against each other to produce a loud hissing noise, then flatten their head and open their mouth whilst pretending to strike:
https://www.facebook.com/BloubergSnakeRescue/videos/1652095758425151/
In reality they barely have any teeth, and they are completely harmless!
Mainly nocturnal, Egg-Eaters feed exclusively on birds' eggs. They have sharp protrusions on the inside of their spine that they use to crack an egg open after they've swallowed it, then they spit the shell back out.
Oviparous, they lay 6-25 eggs in summer.

Cape Cobra (Naja nivea) - venomous and very dangerous.

Late this afternoon I received a call from someone in Philadelphia asking whether I could collect a Cape Cobra they had caught and put into a bin.
This cobra was pretty angry by the time I got there, as you’ll see in the video. Note though, how even though he wasn’t in the best of moods, he still went and hid as soon as he had a chance.
