Snake catcher rescues Black Mamba swimming on Durban beach

The last thing a Durban fisherman was expecting to spot out at sea while fishing on Glenashley Beach on Thursday was a huge Black Mamba.
But that is exactly what his bewildered eyes saw which set in motion a frantic race against time by Durban snake catcher, Jason Arnold to save the 2.3m long female Black Mamba.
This was the second Black Mamba to wash up on a Durban beach in recent months.
