I was called out to remove this young Mole Snake from someone's yard near Malmesbury today.
As I got there a neighbor was about to kill the snake with a shovel, luckily I was able to stop him, capture it, and then talk to them about snakes & snake safety afterwards.

Mole Snakes are found in a variety of habitats - even mountainous regions and deserts - but they're particularly common in sandy scrub-covered and grassveld regions.
They spend most of their time underground, pushing their way through soft sand in search of moles and other rodents.
Juvenile (young) mole snakes have a variety of patterns and colors that they lose completely once they reach adulthood.
Viviparous, Mole Snakes give live birth to anywhere between 25-50 babies in late summer.
