“Man discovers 100 snakes in backyard”
David Stein thought he had a snake problem, but nothing as big as this.
More than 100 venomous red-bellied black snakes were removed from a pile of mulch in Stein’s backyard in Sydney, Australia.
He called authorities last week after watching around six snakes slither into the mulch. He learned from an internet search that pregnant snakes pile on top of each other before they give birth.
Snake catcher Dylan Cooper arrived that afternoon and bagged 102 pregnant and newborn snakes.
“Just seeing that amount in one group, it’s very creepy,” Stein said on Friday.
Two of the captured adults gave birth to a total of 29 snakes in the bag while Cooper was still sifting through mulch catching more.
The final tally was five adults and 97 offspring caught.
