🚨 Another Water Monitor Mission Complete! 🚨

We’ve been getting a TON of calls lately from people all around East London who are convinced they’ve got “small crocodiles” in their yards 😂 It’s almost always one of these beautiful Water Monitors!

This big boy decided to go on an adventure and ran straight into an outside room at an officeblock, getting himself completely trapped. We responded immediately, safely captured him with zero stress to the animal, but almost causing heart failure to the onlookers.

Mission accomplished! Watch the video below to see the happy release back into his natural habitat — where he won’t be causing any more chaos for the locals, at least for a while 😉

These guys are important to our ecosystem (they’re NOT crocodiles and they’re generally shy around humans), so please don’t panic if you spot one — just give us a shout!

Festive season surprise call-out!

A frightened lady reported a large snake in her yard — photo sent, and it wasn't one of our usual suspects!

Turned out to be a feisty rat snake (non-venomous but surprisingly aggressive when cornered — lots of striking and attitude! 😅).

These aren't indigenous to South Africa, so we couldn't relocate it as we normally do. Safely recovered and donated to The Venom Pit Snake Park East London for a good home.

Thanks for the assist, team — and huge thanks to everyone who reports sightings! 🐍 Keep 'em coming, we're on call 24/7.
