A recent viral video has alarmed quite a few viewers on social media after showing two snakes, one cobra and one viper, hiding inside bedding materials in a house. This footage, complete with warnings to the viewer to tap the blanket or shawl before using, has caused much stir on the internet. The snakes may have sought shelter in residential areas due to extreme weather conditions.

Snakes found inside bedding materials

This viral video seems to feature two snakes that emerged from the bedding materials inside a house. People watching it were surprised that the snakes had come into the house because they did not usually see this place occupied by reptiles. It is advised that before using blankets and other bedding materials, people should carefully examine them for any snakes.


Why do snakes need cooler shelter?


In very hot weather, snakes often move to look for more comfortable environments, including shady and cooler locations. Wildlife specialists claim that snakes often enter human territories in order to hide, search for food and water sources, or find a suitable mating partner. In general, snakes prefer hiding in unused garages, storage rooms, piles of clothes, and other household items, but it does not mean that they purposely come to houses. Usually, they try to stay away from humans.


Social media users discuss this footage


Many social media users shared their thoughts on this matter by saying how alarmed they were after seeing snakes hidden in such an unusual place. Some of them said that they had similar experiences of finding snakes in the garden, garage, or other rural buildings during the warm period. Additionally, many of them stated that one had to be very cautious while dealing with used blankets and other clothes, which could hide snakes under themselves.
