“It was quiet with the cold front and the rain but now it's getting hotter. Sometimes it gets too hot during the day, so they start moving in the afternoon and evening, which was the case yesterday.”
He said while Mozambique spitting cobras were not out to kill, “their bite is very dangerous. The last confirmed bite was about two years ago in Durban. They spit in dogs' eyes all the time. We had two cases yesterday. “It's almost better they spit rather than bite. The venom in the eyes can be washed out, but the bite is far more serious.”“I was called out to a road in Westville for a Mozambique spitting cobra by a garage entrance. I won't mention the road, in case I cause a mass exodus of residents, though they should already be used to snakes there,” he wrote.
“While en route, I got another call for a Mozambique spitting cobra — in the same road! This one had gone under a patio. I went to this one first, as it sounded more like the snake could come out at any moment.
That's a spitting cobra
Let me just close my doors anyways 😭
Venomous snakes are killed
💚💚
