Mole Snake (Pseudaspis cana) - non-venomous, but can inflict a painful bite. *Please click on the button below to "Share" this post!* -- Read more about this species here: https://bloubergsnakerescue.co.za/snake-profiles/pseudaspis-cana-mole-snake/ Find your nearest snake catcher's contact details here: https://snakeremoval.co.za/ -- A Milnerton resident saw this snake hiding behind his wendy-house, and called me to capture it for him. What's quite interesting about this Mole Snake is that even though it's of subadult size, it still has very clear juvenile markings (usually they lose this patterning & coloration as they grow older). -- Mole Snakes are found in a variety of habitats, even mountainous regions and deserts, but they're particularly common in sandy scrub-covered and grassveld regions. They spend most of their time underground, pushing their way through soft sand in search of moles and other rodents. Viviparous, they give live birth to anywhere between 25-50 babies in late summer. Interestingly, juvenile (young) mole snakes have a variety of patterns and colors that they lose completely once they reach adulthood. -- You can help us keep our wildlife safe!

Honduran Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis) - exotic, harmless. -- Late last night someone from Bellville called me about an “orange and black” snake that her husband had seen behind their house. Capturing a snake in the dark can be quite tricky, but luckily once I uncovered him this little guy didn’t try to get away and hide somewhere else. Honduran Milk Snakes are exotic (not native to South Africa) and quite popular as pets, but unfortunately sometimes pet snakes do escape into the wild (or are released when their owners grow tired of them). Although exotics may struggle to survive on their own, they can also have a detrimental effect on the local ecosystem. So, whenever we find an exotic on a callout we need to either return it to the owner, or find a new home for it. I knocked on the neighbours’ doors but unfortunately the snake didn’t belong to any of them. However, one of the guys who was there last night works with their area’s neighborhood watch, and he’s going to put the word out about the lost pet to see if we can find the owner. -- Download the “Snake Removal Pro” app to have instant access to your nearest snake catcher’s contact details, read frequently asked questions, watch snake rescue videos, and more: http://bit.ly/snakeremovalpro -- Your donations help us keep our community and wildlife safe!
