I had a magnificent experience this weekend: I and my friend - a snake cathcer and handler - were called out to rescue a Black Mamba (probably Africa's most feared venomous snake!) which was being threatened by forest fires. These fires had devestated 100's of acres of pine forest the past week and uncountable snakes, small mammals and birds were destroyed by the all consuming flames. The snake was taken to a local vet and is receiving physiotherapy (humidifier inhalation) for infection caused by smoke inhalation in its lung (snakes have only one lung!) and we hope to pull it through! This made for a truly memorable weekend for me - how was YOUR weekend? Will you remember it for something special?!
