That's for sure!

Any further details? Who is the brave guy holding the snake?
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

That's quite brave, if I am not mistaken a guy was quite in big trouble because for scaring someone at a toll gate with a snake, I think it was a dead Puff Adder. Be careful, those people can exaggerate a bit... :smt017

I am pretty sure the snake arrived with the vehicle. They are inclined to do this. You can see this is a rescue and not an attempt to "empty the taxi". That however would have happened at the speed of lightning.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

The passengers in the taxi noticed a snake moving from under the drivers seat into a small compartment underneath. Taxi empty!! The driver phoned the police who in turn called Quentin, who with the help of Neville from Ndlondlo Snake park in Balito, removed the snake unharmed.

There has been an unusual amount of mambas requiring rescuing in the area (Stanger) in the past few weeks.

Totally unrelated. I went to the shops with my beardie on my shoulder. I have never seen security guards run as fast. So Iguess you can clear almost any area with a reptile.

This also made me think of when I had to certify some certificates of mine at the Police Station, how the gentleman who assisted me kept on saying that "you owe me" for certifying all my documents. :smt021 (OK, so I actually thought it was your job? ... anyways he was taking chances by pulling my leg 'cause I'm a woman).

He kept on going until he got to my certificate where it states that I am qualified in handling venomous reptiles, that he actually got such a huge fright that he said ""What's this?!". So I told him with which animals I work and his eyes got as wide as saucers and he said "Don't worry, you don't owe me anything. It's free".

:lol:
