In Snake City season 2 episode 6, titled "Into the Snake Pit," the dynamic duo of snake catchers Simon Keys and Siouxsie Gillett are faced with their toughest challenge yet - a nest of deadly black mambas lurking in an old abandoned factory. Nicknamed "the kiss of death," black mambas are known for their lightning-fast strikes and toxic venom, making them one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa.
Simon and Siouxsie know they have to tread carefully as they enter the dilapidated factory, not knowing where the snakes may be hiding. Armed with their snake hooks and bags, they cautiously make their way through the dark, debris-filled corners of the building, constantly on the lookout for any telltale signs of the elusive black mambas.
As they explore the factory, Simon and Siouxsie come across a variety of different snakes, from harmless house snakes to deadly Mozambique spitting cobras. They deftly capture each one, using their years of experience and knowledge of snake behavior to safely remove them from the factory premises.
But the black mambas remain elusive, and Simon and Siouxsie are forced to change their approach. They set up a trap using a live rat as bait, hoping to lure the deadly snakes out of hiding. After several tense moments, the plan works, and a massive black mamba lunges for the rat. Simon and Siouxsie move in quickly, capturing the snake and placing it in a bag for safe transportation.
As the day wears on, Simon and Siouxsie continue to explore the factory, honing their snake-catching skills and uncovering more hidden snakes along the way. They encounter a particularly dangerous red spitting cobra, a venomous snake known for its ability to spit venom into the eyes of its prey. But Simon and Siouxsie are undeterred, using their protective gear and quick reflexes to capture the cobra and remove it from the factory.
By the end of the episode, Simon and Siouxsie have successfully removed all the snakes from the old factory, earning the respect of the local community who had been living in fear of the dangerous creatures. Through their bravery and expertise, Simon and Siouxsie have proven once again why they are considered the best snake catchers in South Africa.
Overall, "Into the Snake Pit" is a thrilling and suspenseful episode of Snake City that showcases the incredible danger and excitement of snake catching in Africa. Simon and Siouxsie's bravery and skill are on full display as they go toe-to-toe with some of the deadliest snakes on the continent, making for a truly unforgettable viewing experience.
