The Wild family discovered the deadly serpent at their home in the Western Cape. Snake catcher Gerrie Heyns confirmed the animal's identity when he arrived at the family's property in Robertson, the Western Cape, soon afterwards. The snake was female and between 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) long, Heyns told CNN on Tuesday. He said he instructed the family to stay away from the tree, but to "keep their eyes on the snake" until his arrival. resd more https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/africa/christmas-tree-snake-scli-intl/index.html
