A Table View resident called me to ask that I relocate this Rain Spider she found on one of her doorframes.

A member of the Huntsman Spiders family, Rain Spiders are free-running, ground-living arachnids often found in built-up areas, trees, under bark, in rock crevices, and on vegetation.
Rain Spiders are harmless to humans and can be from 6-36 mm in size. They are easily recognizeable because of their size, the banded patterning on their legs, and the white "moustache" on their cephalothorax (head & thorax).

SUBAD

Mole Snake (Pseudaspis cana) - non-venomous, but can inflict a painful bite.

I collected this young Mole Snake from a construction site near Gie Rd in Table View earlier today - it had gone onto a tunnel and I had to dig it out.
--
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.

Common Slug-Eater (Duberria lutrix) - harmless.
--
Johann Roux (Tygerberg Snake Removal) and I were having breakfast at a coffee shop in Plattekloof this morning when a call came in for a snake someone found whilst cleaning their yard, just 5 minutes away from us.
After some searching we found a young Slug-Eater hiding under some tiles. We thought it was quite funny that the house had "Beware Of Snakes" stickers on all of the windows - apparently the previous owner had left before taking these off!
Also known as a "tabakrolletjie" in Afrikaans, this relatively common little snake can grow up to 43cm in length. They prefer damp localities near grassland, but can also be found in moist savannah, lowland forest, and fynbos.
Diurnal (active during the day), these guys can be found beneath almost any form of cover, including rocks, logs, grass tufts, and vegetation. Known as "The Gardener's Friend", they're useful in keeping down snail populations.
When threatened they seldom bite, and prefer rolling up tightly into a spiral with their head concealed (like a roll of tobacco, hence the Afrikaans name "tabakrolletjie"), or using their powerful scent glands to give off a musky smell in self-defense.
They prey only on slugs and snails, which they locate by following slime trails. When it consuming a snail it'll grasp the forepart, then slowly pull the rest of the body out of the shell.
Viviparous, they give live birth to 6-22 young in late summer.

SPOTT
spotted-skaapsteker-near-flamingo-vlei,
Spotted Skaapsteker (Psammophylax rhombeatus) - mildly venomous but harmless to humans.
*If you liked this post, please click the button below to "Share"!*
--
Spotted Skaapsekers average 45 - 85cm in length and can be found inhabiting fynbos, grassland, and moist savannah throughout most of South Africa.
They're diurnal (active during the day), and actively hunt rodents, lizards, birds, frogs, and other snakes.
Spotted Skaapstekers are mildly venomous, but they pose no danger to humans.
They are oviparous (egg-laying), and the 8-30 eggs they lay in the summer hatch about 6 weeks later.
