About Snake City:
Ride shotgun with snake-catcher Simon Keys and herpetologist girlfriend, Siouxsie Gillett, as they rush across Snake City in response to screams of terror: from deadly black mambas in wardrobes to cobras in factories and green mambas in casinos.

  • That snake would've been choking had I been there, I'd tried to secure it without killing it. But no way am I allowing it to ready it's self for battle. Simply too dangerous IMO but of course I'm an armature and they seem pretty comfortable dealing with it. I couldn't actually see how close it came to biting his foot, no way I'm chancing an ordeal like a bite from a Black Momba. It's not as if there aren't plenty of them around. Very well done though it's always good when no one is harmed including the snake.

  • I dunno I watch a lot of videos of Nick Evans catching black mambas and he doesn't make nearly as big a scene as these two do. Now respect to anyone who catches these snakes for us but I get the feeling they pump these snakes up for TV cause a lot of the mamba vids you see the snake does not hiss as much. I'm definitely no expert - just what I notice. And if they agitate these snakes intentionally or even unintentionally then think these two should call it a day ...
