00:00 - It's huge. - Yeah, bigger than I thought.

00:02 - You want more pliers? - Incredible.

00:04 Whenever there's a construction site, and a snake is just not a good mix.

00:15 - If you see underneath the concrete, there's a pipe. - Okay.

00:19 - There's a pipe that goes down. - Okay.

00:22 - But it can't go through. - Okay.

00:24 - So it's just in there. - In there somewhere.

00:27 - It's big. - Big how? - 1.5 metres at least.

00:30 - Okay. We'll have a look at it. - I'll leave you to it.

00:34 Whenever you put your head in a hole without knowing what it is, they raise.

00:38 Even if you're told it's a forest cobra, it could be a cobra crasher.

00:41 So it's under this.

00:46 The guys there have dug a trench, which is quite deep.

00:50 And now it's stuck between the conduit and the foundations of the property.

00:55 It's not great. There's not much space.

00:58 And it's the biggest cobra of the African genus of the Naja.

01:02 It's going to be tough.

01:04 - I see it. - You see it? - Yes.

01:07 I now understand why the workers are so scared.

01:11 It's a huge forest cobra.

01:13 It's the heaviest venomous snake in Africa.

01:18 Despite its size, the forest cobra is incredibly agile.

01:23 As much on the ground as in the trees.

01:25 If you haven't spread your legs to see its hood,

01:30 know that the bite of this cobra is equivalent to a powerful cocktail of neurotoxic venom

01:36 that can make you go from life to death in 30 minutes.

01:39 I don't know what size it is, but if it's big enough, we might be in its line of sight.

01:44 - Do you need gloves? - No. I'll try to get it out with a hook.

01:49 I'm going to need a bit of space.

01:52 I'm going to get stuck when it comes out.

01:55 If I scare it, it might sink even further under the house, and then we're going to lose it.

02:03 It's there.

02:05 It would be better if I could clear some of the ground.

02:09 It's better if M'Bali keeps his distance.

02:13 - Are you excited? - Yeah, we don't catch them that often.

02:18 It's good to see that. We'll have to see how it reacts.

02:22 It doesn't attack, it prefers to run away.

02:25 It's better to avoid being bitten.

02:27 They have a powerful neurotoxic and cytotoxic venom.

02:30 - There's a lot of ground. - Come on.

02:33 - I don't know which way I'm holding it. - The tail.

02:37 Yeah, it's the tail.

02:39 That's it.

02:41 It might not like that.

02:43 Where's my other hook?

02:45 Watch out.

02:46 Working with venomous snakes in a confined space is always dangerous.

02:50 But if it's big, it's even more dangerous.

02:53 - It's going to disappear. - Do you want the glove?

02:57 - Don't let go. - It's going to disappear.

02:59 Back off, all of you.

03:01 It's risky, I don't know how big it is.

03:04 - It's strong. - Yeah, snakes are very agile.

03:07 It's on top of that. It can wrap itself around something.

03:11 - It's big. - Yeah, you'd better back off.

03:14 - Yeah, I'm backing off. - I don't want you to get bitten.

03:17 - It's big. - It's strong.

03:20 - Wow, it's huge. - Yeah, bigger than I thought.

03:23 Do you want more pliers? Incredible.

03:25 - It's beautiful. - I'm like, "What a big snake."

03:30 I've never seen a forest cobra this big before.

03:33 - Big, big cobra. - Watch out, they can stand up.

03:38 - Do you want the other hook? - Wow.

03:40 Beautiful.

03:42 I think I'd be given a place if I got out of there with that.

03:45 She doesn't look too bad. She's a female.
