Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen 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.

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.
