Venomous Black mamba rescues in South Africa, deadly snake under kid's bed, Nick Evans in action
Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is the most feared snake in Africa. It is one of the fastest snakes in the world. Mambas have potent neurotoxin and they are known to strike and bite if they feel threatened. Nick Evans is a snake catcher from Durban in South Africa. We filmed him during his rescues of big Black mambas. One was under kid's bed in the room! The second one was found next to a house in a place full of rubbish. Will we rescue these snakes safely? Watch this video and imagine how is it to have a deadly venomous snake on your property! At the end both mambas are treated in Ushaka Sea World by an expert vet team. One snake had a bulge of uncertain origin.

World's deadliest snake in his left hand. Casually answers his phone with the other
Nick knows what he's doing :)
Tedy Vy dva jste neuvěřitelní. Děláte nádherné filmy. Vyskytujete se na neskutečných místech. Doslova vám závidím!
Moc děkujeme, jsme rádi, že se Vám líbí naše práce! :)
They are beautiful snakes. You guys did a great job in rescuing and treating them! 💖
Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to save these snakes and release them back into the wild.
So glad they're rescuing the snakes but also helping residents who are faced with having the snakes in their homes & property. Where I grew up, in southern Ark (U.S.A.), in the 1950s, we sometimes had rattlesnakes coming into our yard, once had a large copperhead that my baby sister almost stepped on (only 2, too young to know better). Our family had lived in that region for several generations, our ancestors having fled there to avoid the forced r emoval of all Cherokees from our homeland starting in 1838. As we had lived in the large forested area for several generations, the children were taught from early childhood how to avoid rattlesnakes & other venomous snakes, mainly by learning how to walk in the woods in ways that let the snakes know we were there because rattlesnakes are shy & very afraid of humans & will try to avoid contact. Our yard adjoined the surrounding woods on three sides & it differed from the woods only in having no underbrush & more spaced out trees--similar to a natural clearing in the forest. Thus snakes would sometimes come into the yard not realizing it was a yard, thinking it was a clearing. My parents killed any rattlesnake they saw in the yard, like most people did back then. They were afraid the kids would get bitten of course. But we knew no one who had been bitten by a rattler in our lifetimes, even though many of the men worked in the woods & many people hunted to supplement their food in winter. There were several kinds of rattlesnakes, including the diamondback & the timber rattler, both fairly common. We once had pygmy rattlers make a nest in our shed directly behind the house, nesting & producing young there till my mother noticed & had my father smoke them out. Still, the snakes we lived with weren't as dangerous as some in Africa. With most rattlesnakes, you won't die if bitten even if u don't receive the proper shots. With some mambas you are in real trouble.
The human-snake conflict is very serious in some regions of the world, like India and Africa. Education is needed a lot and also snake rescuers. There is a chance for peaceful coexistence though!

Roy Scheider would say your gonna need a bigger bucket 🪣 lol. Living Zoology sent me here cheers 🍻.
Big bucket helps when you catch mambas!
Ha, love this comment 🤣🤣
Excellent rescue skills. Your knowledge and understanding of these wonderful reptiles is excellent. Always be careful and take care. Rushen, Trishen and Suminthra Oojugir Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa
Thank you for watching! It was great to work with Nick, such a professional!
All Love Nick Evans very much and hi is very Good to Catches dangerous snakes as Black Mamba and Spitting Cobra
Thanks for watching!
The black mamba is a snake that deserves a lot of respect, having the quickest acting and most potent venom make it the most deadly snake in the world, it also have the same coloration of a great white shark gray above and creme below, a true predator.
There are other snakes with a very potent venom, even acting faster and more potent. But yes, Black mamba is one of the most venomous snakes in the world.
Huuge thx to everyone involved with snakes and especially venomous snakes 💙 🙏
Thank you for watching, we love venomous snakes and love to help them.
Schön dass es solche Menschen gibt!
Thanks for watching!
Nick is great at catching and relocating venomous snakes. Check out a bloke called Jason Arnold as well. He’s another snake catcher in South Africa. His videos are on KZhead as well. Jason is brilliant at this. Great video, I love this channel !!
Many many thanks for watching our videos! We heard about Jason!
Thanks!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Your expertise in using the snake tongs and a quick grab are quite exceptional. Well done sir and what a beautiful Mamba.What could be worse maybe a spitting Mamba!!! And thats a better size jam jar!!!!
Thanks a lot for watching 👍Nick does a great job and it was a pleasure to work with him!
I truly admire your flipflops. I cringe everytime you step too close 😂
We always wear proper shoes, but Nick says that he would die from sweating if he did not have his flipflops 😀
@@LivingZoology 😂🤣😂🤣
Excellent work. Thank you.
Many thanks!
This dude gots guts to rescue mambas with scandals is crazy
It is his style! Nick always says that if he was wearing shoes and trousers, he would be sweating so much that he would not be able to focus on catching the snake!
Rather him than me, you need fast reactions with a black mamba. He is doing a really good job. I think a tube would be better, I think the bucket is way to risky. Hats off to him.
Nick is doing great job and he is so good in putting mambas into buckets! It was a pleasure to work with him.
Thanks to Nick Evans!!! He make this Job very nice. Know anyone what schooling do you need for this Job?
Thanks for watching! The first thing would be to do a snake handling course, there are options in South Africa. And then get some experience by accompanying a great snake rescuer for some time :)
@@LivingZoology thx
Thank u very much.
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching!
Super że pomagacie pozbyć się z domów tych niebezpiecznych węży , ale uważajcie na siebie.
Thank you very much for watching!
nick you are brave
He is!
his checking messages on phone while holding a black mamba😂
Well, for Nick catching a mamba is a daily routine! :D
It's crazy that people keep so much junk in outbuildings when highly venomous snakes are around. That guy is amazing - so skilled at catching snakes.
Yes, Nick is doing a great job! People create so much rubbish, which attracts rodents and they attract snakes.
Getting them into a bucket is a bit risky 😬 would bagging them be easier ? Fantastic video presentation !!
Thank you for watching! There are two ways. Nick likes buckets and we have to say that it works well with some experience. Here you can see an example of using a bag: kzhead.info/sun/qK6HaJGubmJmdKs/bejne.html
King cobra belongs to mamba's family, not to cobras. My second favorite snake 💗
Mambas and the King cobra belong to the family Elapidae. They are closely related. m.kzhead.info/sun/oaiik96hemiLlJ8/bejne.html&pp=ygUObGl2aW5nIHpvb2xvZ3k%3D
Amazing video recall hearing one of these snakes enter the home on time and killed an entire family
Thank you for watching! We did not hear about such a story.
Let's all continue to stretch,,,,,Breath... hold....settle....,
Thanks for watching.
This video reminds me of a clip where a black mamba bit a dead lioness. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! More about mambas here: kzhead.info/sun/aseOl7B7j3yViJs/bejne.html
Nice 🇦🇺😎
Thanks for watching!
Do we know what was wrong with the first mamba ? What was the diagnosis by the vet ?
It looked like it was a local infection and according to our information the snake was fine after a week and released.
@@LivingZoology thanks for the reply and glad the snake was ok
Good job👌❤😊 🇮🇳
Thank you! :)
@@LivingZoology welcome❤
i can not life and i can not one second sleep in this danger snake land's, it's a extrem horror dream for me. i am so verry looky, happy and thank's god, that i was borne in vienna austria. JESUS CHRISTUS BLESS YOU ALL !!!!!!!
Thanks for watching! Yes, in Austria there are not many snakes.
Thank heavens there is nothing but dust under my bed 😱🤣🤣
Haha, that is good! Thank you for watching!
Where was the one under the bed caught?
It was caught near Durban.
👍👍
Thanks!
Stay Safe please
We will, thank you!
It's just a Black Mamba, I'll wear my Sandals
I was thinking the same thing.
Well, we would not work with a mamba in sandals, but this is just Nick's style. He is so comfortable with snakes that he is just fine in sandals.
I still hate snakes ... But I find it fascinating and interesting to watch all you clever snake people 😎 And .... know your enemy as the saying goes 😉
Thanks for watching! :)
That kid sure has a tidy bedroom.jeeze. That’s child abuse living in filth like that
Thanks for watching!
It just doesn't look rice in that little shed black mamba at your feet and no boots on
We know that Nick does not wear the most representative footwear for catching mambas. We would not do that, but it is his decision and he says that he would sweat a lot if he had long trousers and proper boots and he would not be able to concentrate.
Работа как у сапёров по разминированию
Thanks for watching.
My experience with snakes is that, if you are going to catch snakes, you are going to get bitten. I’m curious to know if these professionals carry anti-venom for the snakes they work with. I’m also wondering about their bite history.
Of course when you work with venomous snakes you need to be aware of the fact that you can get bitten. Nick lives in Durban where there is antivenom in hospitals. You probably don't know that you cannot carry antivenom with you, it can be only administered in hospitals.
Thank you for answering my question. You are absolutely correct that the antivenom can only be administered in hospitals! I enjoyed your video so much I dashed off that comment without giving it much thought. I suppose if you had to rush to the nearest hospital it would be nice to bring the antivenom with you, but storage procedures are probably strictly controlled. Keep up the great work.
If only the snakes could understand that we’re helping them and not out to hurt them and there’s no need to bite us, then that would be great!! Unfortunately that’s never going to happen!!
Thanks for watching! :)
I cant imagine living in an area where such dangerous snakes are in our vicinity. Im scared shitless of snakes and something like the black mamba under the bed? Id probably die of a heart attack before it even bites me.
Yes, living in certain areas in Africa includes a risk of having a snake inside your house.
Are these snakes threatened by removing forestry for agriculture so snakes don't have a habitat to thrive. They seem to go where people live and South African townships do keep Chickens as livestock. Good job now you have to find a suitable place for them .
Thank you for watching! Many snakes are threatened by the loss of their habitat. People also often have lots of rubbish around their homes, which attracts snake prey. Snakes then come to hunt around human households. It might be tricky sometimes to find a suitable place where to release snakes.
Guy wearing clip flop to catch a deadly Back Mamba!!?? That's where stupidity meet dumbness!!
It is Nick's style. He is extremely experienced and he says that if he had proper shoes and trousers, he would die from sweating. We respect his decision, but we agree that as an inspiration for others he should be wearing something else than flip flops.
Why wearing Sandals
We would not wear sandals, but it is Nick's style! He is so used to work with mambas that he prefers to feel comfortable.
Kid probably has a pet hamster.
Thanks for watching.
“Had” a pet hamster.
The mambas couldn't bite, so they played dirty and started shitting all over the place, nasty.
Thanks for watching!
Inside kid's room hey why people are keeping rats inside house that is why snakes follow dem
This snake came into the house through an open window.
@@LivingZoology it was looking for rats that's my point. If you can be Frank enough and be truthful, these people in Durban live like animals thy can't look after their houses. Even black Mambas thy are confused that's why you find them there.
Hi Coz there are dirty keeping trashes all over
Yes, trash attracts rodents and they attract snakes.
This is not rescue this is hunting Don't pick the snakes head while rescuing, snakes got injured and this is not an ethical rescue
With mambas it is often the best thing to grab them behind the head. Nick is doing his work with huge respect to snakes.
@@LivingZoologythat is what i say grabbing the neck cause injury to the snake
@@snakesonboardIt doesn’t cause injury when done properly which it seems like these guys do. With such a deadly snake, they have to do it in a way that keeps them safe. If they weren’t willing to go out and catch the snakes in these situations, the snakes would more than likely be killed.
Short pants to catch black mamba 😨😨
My favourite, SA snake rescuer 🩳👕🩴 Just sooo good at what he is doing .....
Yes, Nick is awesome at his work! He saves so many reptiles!
You should watch a bloke called Jason Arnold as well. He’s brilliant at catching snakes and he’s also in South Africa. He’s on KZhead.
Nick is great at catching snakes. Rather him than me!!
@@mrkipling2201 thank you mr. Kipling for taking the time to draw my attention to mr. Arnold. I watch him already, though 🤓 However, I still like or even prefer the the cool of Nick Evans. But they both do a great job. And there are more out there, on and off YT
@@abocas each to their own mate. I prefer Jason tbh but it’s cool that you like Nick. They’re both very good at what they do. Have a good week mate 👍👍
