A snake spotted on a tree in Braddell Heights last Friday (10 Oct) gave residents quite the scare, prompting a call for professional help.
Fortunately, a team from Aardwolf Pestkare — a pest control company — arrived to handle the situation.
Their calm, professional approach turned the tense moment into a safe rescue operation as excited onlookers watched on.
According to a sgfollowsall Instagram post on 11 Oct, a snake was seen coiled around a tree branch in the Braddell Heights area.
Curious onlookers can also be heard in the background, reacting as three pest control personnel worked together to bring the reptile down carefully.
The rescue team appeared composed and methodical as they tackled the situation, ensuring the snake could be safely removed without harm to either the animal or the people nearby.

After a few patient manoeuvres, they successfully secured the snake, which appears to be a python, and placed it into a bag.
“The rescue team were calm and patient in mitigating and handling the whole situation. Safely rescued the snake and secure it away. Good job to Aardwolf!” the caption read.
MS News has reached out to AVS for more information.
Many Instagram users were impressed by how the pest control staff “communicated and worked together” as a team.
