Attack of the Black Mambas

Summary Its summer and the snake season is kicking off in South Africas east coast city of Durban. The heat and humidity unleashes hundreds of deadly reptiles and snake bounty hunters Simon and Nadine cant keep up with all the calls. A father is in a blind panic. His kids are on their way back from school and theres a 3-meter Black Mamba hiding in their garden. Simon has never seen a Black Mamba this huge and catching this monster will be no easy task. Where did this huge snake come from and how did it get into the city?

The Fire Department needs help, but not for a fire, for a snake. They manage to trap the intruder in someones living room and everyone is terrified. They have no idea what the snake is. Its up to Simon and Nadine to get the situation under control. Snakes pay the bills and the extra bit of cash gives Simon and Nadine the opportunity to indulge in another of their favorite past times, getting inked. Simons tattoo addiction started at an early age and now he is over 95% tattoos. New tattoos take about a week to fully heal and he'll have to protect his wound from any infections, including snake venom, but in their line of work that might not be so easy.

As the city heats up so do the snake calls. A nanny is playing with the children when she spots a huge brown snake in the garden. She is petrified for the childrens safety. From the description it sounds like this could be a Spitting Cobra, one of the most difficult snakes to catch. If Simon or Nadine gets venom in their eyes, they could go blind. Simon receives a call hes been waiting for 3 months. The Green Mamba eggs are about to hatch. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity so Simon and Nadine cannot miss this. Will all of the newborns make it? Its going to be a long night. Simon and Nadine want to find out how the snakes are entering the city, so they plan to insert a microchip under the skin of a Black Mamba and track its movements. But for this they'll need help.
