Beware Cape Town, the ‘snakes in the Mother City’ season
Locals have been advised to be on the lookout and be extra vigilant while being outdoors with family and friends as snakebite season has arrived.
According to the Western Cape Health Department, snakebite season takes place from October through to April when temperatures rise, and snakes usually become more active as a result of the weather.
Most snakes in our country are harmless, however, the Western Cape Poison Helpline has urged Capetonians to watch their step when being outdoors.
A recent video shared by @vuurtoring has been trending on Twitter, and shows two snakes on Lion’s Head near a popular trail where many hikers trek.
