A friend of my wife had these two Black Mamba's removed from her husbands workshop on Saturday by staff from a local snake park:
Female
Smaller male found a few hours later
One of the comments made on Facebook:
"Tim said there might be babies and to just keep our eyes open. He also explained the peppery smell that Black Mambas give off and let us smell the snake so we can identify it. So all in hand. The children are still banned from the area though."
I have never heard of the "pepper smell" referred to, can anyone confirm this?
