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.

This is the first time I've seen any snake vomit up anything. Trying to relocate a Black Mamba is akin to dancing with the Grim Reaper, scary animal.

cause its more comfy and you can move freely, plus if you get bitten by a snake your body feels hot which makes your heart beats faster as well as pumping of the blood, the faster the heart beats the quicker the venom/poison spreads to your body

Such a beautiful snake.
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.
Now this is a titanoboa.
Mamba by far is the most dangerous snake in world!!! Toxicity, speed, and aggressive nature no other snake even compares? Also, 3rd most venomous land snake, good luck dealing with one of them bad boys? Lol

Thanks for NOT showing us the large Monster mamba.
Where is full video?
Looks like im not going to Durban for a looooooong time!
When the Black Mamba trying to spit out, I thought it was like a rat or mice or something but until they say They spit out kitten, I went Ayo what!? and going confessed for a moment.
Black mamba I saw it in tv so much of episodes
I reckon he should get a couple more tats so his cool factor will go through the roof.
What a beauty
The tattooed pair with a snake.
I don't know how this guy wears shorts because his balls are so big. This is a real legend
His tattoo made him look like a snake
They feel bad for the snake.. But not the kitten? 🤔😑
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing KOBE BRYANT of the snake world.
I like snakes, but they always kept you waiting for something.
They are definitely over doing it! Poor snake
They need a Snakesearchincam
I always watch this on my TV but dont say ‘you need shotguns,riffles,and fire things’ because they can caught snakes with non fire stuff,you liked use fire things bc you push,and fire.but they use their energy to catch snake for FREE them
Poor lil kitty
You made him spit out his kitten sandwich.
Is that...did that snake vomit?
Sehr gefährlich sich mit so etwas abzugeben.
Where's Scalabrine?
Have you gotten bitten before
why are you not wearing safety boot
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 ...

Oh... i don't know where the snake's head is. So the only way to find out is to walk into the bush in my shorts.
dangrous
No offense but that whole time I wasn’t worried about them I was sad for the kitten
The camera men knows where is the head but he didn't informed those guys shame on you cameraman

Can one learn Mamba catching by himself, I mean it looks easy enough, you figure out where the head is, avoid that end, bag it, milk it and sell the milk, it's more expensive than diamonds, pound for pound, a relatively small Mamba farm can make you rich in a couple of years.

I'm not sure I trust an English snake handler/ rescuer. I'm English but we just don't grow up living near such animals- seems strange.

what is the deal with the cloth ? why legs and hands are exposed ? is not a safety violation ?
@Kitsune1989
27 күн бұрын
As someone who keeps hots here's the biggest reasons. ● Cloth is not going to stop a snakebite. And if it's a front fanged venomous species there's a high chance that the snake might catch its fangs on the cloth and be unable to retract itself. Leaving a panicked venomous reptile to lash about with its fangs still exposed right in your pant leg. Not a good place to be. ● Movement. You would not believe how fast these snakes are. Anything in the viperae or elapidae family are going to be fast. They can easily strike, hit, recoil, and be ready for a second strike before you have the ability to even flinch let alone try to move out of the way. It's much safer not to restrict one's movement. Especially I scenarios like this where there's bushes and trees that will happily snag clothing. ● which brings me to the third thing that's not really relevant to private keepers but is to people who catch these snakes in the wild. And that is snagged clothing will move the bushes and tree you are trying to maneuver around. Imagine getting that perfect grab lined up only for you clothes to catch and the whole bush rattles, spooking the snake into a potential strike as it feels unable to escape.

Rahul Mathew It's not about size but potency of venom. The inland taipan, although smaller than a King, is more lethal - pound for pound, than both the mamba and King.
Why not give the mamba a hug and kiss and show some LOVE! If killing it is so hard.
