Snake catcher Nick Evans had a unique challenge when he confronted a 2.4meter black mamba hiding inside a leaf blower in a shed. Despite his efforts, the snake refused to leave, so he had to dismantle the machine. Once the leaf blower was in pieces, the snake had no choice but to surrender, and Nick could release it back into nature. This unusual experience was a first for Nick, reminding him how varied and challenging his job can be.

In addition, the country has recently been facing a critical shortage of snake antivenom treatment, which has caused alarm among locals and medical experts.
