A puff adder was discovered in a garage at a home in Reservoir Hills in Durban.
A puff adder may have taken the most unexpected road trip into Durban after apparently hitchhiking from the Midlands or Umgeni River Valley and ending up curled up on a garage windowsill in Reservoir Hills.
The highly venomous snake was discovered at a home in the north-western suburb of Durban, leaving residents stunned and snake rescuer Nick Evans equally surprised.
Evans explained on Facebook that he initially thought the family was describing a far less dramatic reptile encounter.
“I expected it to be a brown house snake with a meal, until I received the photo - it was a puff adder!” he said.
