Netcare 911 paramedic and professional snake handler rescues multiple snakes from properties around the Vaal Triangle
Netcare 911 paramedic Nick van Der Walt, also a professional snake handler, was asked to remove snakes from properties in Vanderbijlpark and Midvaal. After multiple days of captures in the extreme heat, all Nick's rescues were Rinkhals snakes (Hemachatus haemachatus). One of the many traits of the Rinkhals is to play dead with its body turned upside down leaving its mouth open. All the snakes were safely released in suitable habitats far from humans.
