Got a request to clear a area of snakes where they have an event tommorow and found this nice Rinkhals within minutes under a old flower bucket.

Oh Photoshop.

Very clever move that. I thought you were making snuff movies.

Just for the record I do know that Rinkhals sham death, before someone bites my head off.

I think this one did a bit of digging somewhere.
This one is big and one of the heaviest that have caught.
The biggest Rinkhals that i saw was one that have been kept at Rhino and Lion park..massive girl that one! ;)
