Over 100 poisonous reddish black snakes – that’s what was found in a man’s compost in a garden in Sydney. Several of the snakes were even born during the procedure to catch them.
Last week there was a homeowner in Sydney saw six snakes meandering into a compost in the garden. Through an internet search, he learned that pregnant reddish black snakes stack on top of each other before feeding.
Snake Catcher Cory Kerewaro says his company was originally called to save a number of reptiles after one of them was reported to have bit a dog on the property.
Initially, the company believed that four to five would be found, but more and more snakes were found.
On site, the colleague found 40 reddish black snakes – four of whom gave birth to more living kids while putting in a bag.
“101 Dalmatians? How about 102 red stomachs, ”writes Snake Catcher Kereewaro online.
Red -windy black snakes are less toxic than other Australian species, but their bite is still toxic enough to cause severe pain, nausea and vomiting.
Experts do not know why so many snakes were born in such a short time, but a theory is the unusually warm weather in Sydney.
