00:00it's quite a dangerous situation too because I can't like just grab the head I'm gonna have
00:07to grab the mid-body it was quite difficult I was a bit worried about the head swinging around I mean
00:12usually they want to get away but with me tugging on its tail I thought maybe it might swing back
00:18it hasn't moved it's just been sitting here but it's now time to go
00:23but the problem was the wind would blow and all the branches would move and with the leaves I
00:34couldn't see the head it was a bit nervy but we had the neighbors watching for the deck below
00:41I don't have anything yet
00:45okay I can see the head I just want the tail oh it's a big snake
00:50in that situation that was the one time that I looked at Nick and thought just please be careful
00:56people are often shocked by the size of black mambas they really are I've had people phone me
01:00and say there's a python and it's a black mamba my word it's a big mamba I don't want to just grab
01:12yeah I can't see the head
01:13so I just grabbed what I could
01:20and what I had was the tail and I had to pull out by the tail which perhaps wasn't ideal in case it
01:25did swing back yeah I'm going to pull it onto the deck
01:34so he pulled it out and it looked like a never-ending stream of black mamba coming out of that tree it
01:37was just just kept on coming and kept on coming I think it was 2.7 meters that snake
01:43yeah yeah I don't have a head
