Noneking Posted August 25, 2011 Share I rode over this poor little fikker earlier this year. He did not survive a Conti Mountain King and my fat ass. Is that twig snake?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noneking Posted August 25, 2011 Share Mozambique Spitting Cobra!! Found this one in the garden, kids were crying because it just ate their favourite toad........ They had been playing and swimming right next to it all afternoon!! The youngest one wanted to catch it and retrieve the poor toad... Phoned an experienced snake catcher to move the little guy to nature reserve next to our house. You can actually see the toad in its belly....

zonker Posted August 25, 2011 Share i have had a few snake encounters onthe mtb.durban and surrounding areas is full of the buggers.have seen black mamba,a friend of mine rode over a baby mozam spitting cobra a few feet ahead of me,rode past a night adder in the sugar cane near umhlanga,another mate of mine had a black mamba strike at his wheel and flip into the air(giba gorge),another mate nearly rode over a mamba at giba as well.oh and saw my wife ride past a natal black snake about two feet from her.she was completely onlivious until i mentioned it to her.very wary when riding anywhere in the sugar cane,especially in summer.snakes are **** scared of us and will just move away most of the time,they will come towards us only if threatened or if we are in thier escape route.beautiful creatures,but i crap myself for them.respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intern Posted August 26, 2011 Share Prepare for some name-dropping! On the first Cape Pioneer Trek as we were heading into the Kamanassie, we rode past 2 big puff adders; the third one jumped up at Christoph Sauser and tried to schnack his hand. It actually got a tooth to his glove - and I was right behind him. Saw the thing strike out of the grass and bounce off his glove. Brown trouser moment of note!

banna Posted August 26, 2011 Share Was cycling in the Baardskeerdersbos area (close to Gansbaai) a few years ago. So I came around a corner and there was a long branch lying across the road. So I moved to the side to pass it... and then the branch started to move in my direction...on closer inspection it was a beaut of a Cape Cobra. But ja, I did k@k myself in several shades of brown, and ja, I did have my eyes tested the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
