Thea and Clifton respond to a call from a maid who spotted a six-and-a-half-foot black mamba inside a guestroom at a resort they manage. They want to remove it from the area — but first they have to find it.

Shoot! So that happens when we leave our rented rooms for a while. Sankes are hunted and cleaned without us, customers, being informed.
So the secret is out! The customer was never told…didn’t think it would be good for business.
how great that they called these people instead of lashing out at the snake. best scenario possible.
hope snake gets back to where he (she) belongs.
Nice catch Thea! Looking forward to seeing your show tomorrow night!
Thanks Sean!
it so nice to see you or catching the snakes and not just killing them
Wow great work thea! Is this a young black mamba? 6.5 feet seems to be a bit small for a full grown black mamba. I have been told that the average length of an adult black mamba is about 7.5-8.5 feet long. Anyway thanks and keep up the good work of saving both mambas and peoples lives
Hi Thea,
I am familiar with the black mamba as I lived in Phalaborwa for a few months on a wildlife reserve.
There was one spotted near our camp while I was there.
I am assuming your resort is in SA somewhere? I recognized your (Afrikaans) accent.
Exciting video! Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Mike,
Thanks! It was just about 7 foot long and yes, they average about 7.5-8.5 feet. The younger ones are always fun to catch, lots of attitude to make up for lack in size!
Alyson,
We are based in Swaziland but I did go to school and varsity in South Africa, must be where the accent comes from. Glad you liked the video.
Lol sorry Got to laugh! I also loved the (afrikaans) accent especially the yeah baby part… ;)
Shame please remember I am a white WITCH…
This was the best day by far!!!! hahahaha
nice way of catching snakes
