"Pile" lay in garden
Nest with 102 venomous snakes discovered in Sydney
Animal discovery in a garden in Sydney: Australian reptile trappers could not believe their eyes when they stumbled across a nest of 102 venomous snakes in a suburb of the Australian coastal metropolis. The team had expected far fewer specimens ...
At first, the animal trappers had assumed that they would capture a maximum of four or five adult specimens of the red-bellied black viper. However, they stopped counting after they pulled a "whole bunch" of baby snakes out of a pile of leaves in a garden.
New animals kept appearing
In the end, there were 102 snakes. Originally, the team had captured around 40 snakes to take with them. However, new snakes kept appearing, said Kerewaro, who posted a photo of the animal find on online networks. According to him, two of the females had given birth to several baby snakes in the pile of leaves.
Black red-bellied snakes are less venomous than other snake species found in Australia. However, their bite is still venomous enough to cause severe pain, nausea and vomiting.
