As daar een ding is waarvoor Worcester bekend is, is dit dat slange (en soms ander gediertes) hulle in die somertyd in en om ons huise tuismaak.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 du Preez van Silverfox Snake Rescues in Worcester is ook dan die persoon wat jy in so geval op jou snelbel-lys wil h\u00ea. <\/p>\n

Du Preez spesialiseer reeds bykans vier dekades in die redding en rehabilitasie van veral slange.<\/p>\n

\u201cDit is maar \u2018n passie. Hulle is baie interessante diere,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n

Du Preez het in die vorige slangseisoen altesaam 302 slange in die Worcester-area gevang. <\/p>\n

\u201cMeer as 70% van di\u00e9 slange was giftig. Dit sluit in kobras, pofadders en boomslange. Mense het nie altyd die nodige kennis om met slange te werk nie. Ek help graag.\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Preez lewer di\u00e9 diens gratis en s\u00ea dat hy nie anders kan as om sy kennis aan te bied en hulp aan diegene in nood te verleen nie. Hy is wel baie dankbaar vir donasies en dit maak sy werk heelwat makliker.<\/p>\n

\u201cEk wil lewens red. Di\u00e9 van mense en die van reptiele. Brandstof is duur en ek is altyd bly en dankbaar as iemand \u2018n donasie aanbied, maar weet wel nie almal is altyd in die posisie om dit te kan doen nie,\u201d voeg hy by.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Hoe gemaak as jy ‘n slang in jou huis gewaar?<\/div>\n
\n

\u2022 Staan vir wyle stil en terwyl jy vir slang kyk beweeg terug.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Geen slang val mense net aan nie. \u2018n Veilige afstand om te handhaaf is ongeveer 2,5 m.<\/p>\n

\u2022 As \u2019n slang in \u2019n vertrek is, maak die deur toe en sit \u2019n handdoek onder by die opening. Kobras seil graag deur klein spasies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 S\u00ea vir ander mense in die huis dat daar \u2019n slang in die kamer is.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maak ook alle ruite van buite af toe, dit keer dat \u2019n slang deur die venster ontsnap en iewers in die tuin beland.<\/p>\n

\u2022 As jy vermoed dat daar slang in huis is, gooi meel by die openinge van deure en hou dit dop. Die slang sal \u2019n merk laat as dit daardeur seil. Soms merk \u2019n mens \u2019n vreemde reuk in die huis op en dit mag dalk \u2019n slang wees. Gevalle het al voorgekom waar \u2019n slang vir meer as \u2019n week in \u2019n huis was.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kobras skei \u2019n stink reuk af wanneer hulle bedreig voel. Wanneer mense slaap soek die slang dan \u2019n uitkomplek, dus kan vreemde skuif\/skuurgeluide ook \u2019n slang wees.<\/p>\n

In \u2019n noodgeval, bel Andr\u00e9 by 082 305 9209.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
