The snake catchers were called in Bang Saphan, Nakhon Sri Thammarat in southern Thailand after a family found a large number of cobra eggs and four nests under their house.

 

Owner of the property Kamol, 39, told Siam Rath that a few days ago his wife was looking for a cat that had gone missing.

 

She searched under the house in a darkened space and used a selfie stick to take a picture with flash in an area she couldn't reach.

She was stunned that this showed many eggs and nests.

 

It was lucky that a female snake did not lash out at her arm potentially giving her a lethal bite.

 

Two rescue foundations turned up and found four nests containing 70 eggs, 64 of which were viable. One snake was captured.

 

The eggs will be hatched and the snakes all returned to nature far from people. 

 

Had the snakes all hatched under the house it could have meant serious trouble for the owner of the property who is a coconut farmer. 

 

A rescue spokesman said that the snakes had fled flooding and the dry conditions with plenty of food led them to lay eggs in this area.

I love snakes but I don't think the World would miss these eggs if they were discarded.  Who can deny these eggs put into a random place don't cause displacement of others or migrate near people and kill someone? Thailand treats snakes better than it's people.
