102 snakes from garden of a Sydney house removed

encounter with a snake population

David Stein noticed some snakes in a wooden pile in his back yard in a suburb of Sydney and called the Sydney reptile rescue to examine the situation. When the snake catcher Dylan Cooper was finished with his work, it turned out that he had recovered 102 snakes - including five adults and 97 newborns, as the owner of reptile relocation Sydney, Cory Kerewaro, CNN announced on Thursday.

The danger of the red belly snakes

The red -belly snake is a toxic snake, and the females usually collect to give birth to their young, explained Kerewewo. It is particularly noteworthy that in this case someone was able to observe the collective birth of dozens of snakes. "It was never really seen," said Kerewewo. "It's pretty bizarre."

an unusual event

One of the pregnant females removed from the mulch heap gave birth to other newborns in the transport bag. Kerewaro reported that it took about three hours for Cooper to remove all the snakes. Stein had contacted the snake catchers at the right time because the snakes would probably have already distributed themselves in the neighborhood. "They were just born and ready to go out into the world," said Kerewaro. "He called us at the right time."

The discovery by David Stein

Stein, who lives in Horsley Park, about 32 kilometers from the city center, said in the "Sunrise" morning show on Thursday that he discovered the animals in areas last week in which he had applied mulch to keep his trees well. "I saw a bunch of snakes on the mulch ... that made my blood freezed in my veins," he reported. "When I wanted to get my camera ... they retired to the mulch."

The fright and the research

originally estimated that about six snakes were present and added: "It was scary." He said that the slippery reptiles had withdrawn "a few days later on the other side of the mulch in two separate piles". His wife had researched on the Internet for information and found that females are often together when they are about to be shortly before birth - an indication that many more snakes may be on the road. This prompted him to contact reptile relocation Sydney, which Cooper sent to his property on Friday to capture the snakes.

an exciting but calming experience

stone said that it was "exciting to be able to follow the whole thing", but he now "feels good that they have disappeared". According to Kerewewo, the snakes are now released in a national park.
