Finishing up in the bedroom, Lovic spied one more baby cobra. He caught sight of its tail as it was making a quick escape, scrambling away under the door. In a flash, he snagged it with the snake tongs and secured it inside the bag.
The little wriggler thought it could get away and escape the fate of his siblings, but in the end, it was captured as well. Those little guys were quick, but Lovic was quicker. As far as he could tell, the bedroom was clear of snakes. Still, who knew just how many more were waiting around every corner?
Not on the Bed!
If you live in Thailand, you might want to pull back the covers and inspect your bed before climbing in. If you are not careful, there could be a nasty, not to mention deadly, surprise waiting for you. Snakes in your bed are not trying to be maniacal. To them, under the covers is just another good, dark, warm place to stay hidden for a while.
Down the hall, Lovic’s friend’s bedroom was the next place he examined. At first, everything looked fine. Yet, he wanted to be certain the place his friend slept was snake-free. A venomous snake bite is a rude awakening, but it could also be your last. As he stepped into the center of the room, he had a thought.
Are There Any Snakes on the Bed?
Just in case, Lovic pulled back the comforter and took a peek. Shocked, he found not one, not two, but at least three snakes inside his friend’s bed! As soon as the light hit the creepy crawlers, they slithered like mad back into the sheets. He grabbed each one and bagged them — one, two, three.
Lovic strongly suggested his friend stay at a motel. Although he had done his very best, and an absolutely thorough job, just to be sure, he urged his friend and his family to sleep elsewhere for the night. With a snake infestation as severe as this one, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Coming Out of the Woodwork
In the hall, just outside of the bathroom, he spotted another pile of squirmy snakes. How many had he already captured? His bag felt heavy at this point, and it was filled with only tiny baby monocled cobras. Lovic had to find the mother snake, and he had to do it quickly.
The pile writhed wildly in a desperate attempt to scamper free. But, in swift pursuit, Lovic snatched them up, one by one. Looking at his bags, he counted over 20 snakes! This was easily one of the very worst snake infestations that he had ever encountered, and it was still ongoing.
Inspecting the Living Room
When he got to the living room, Lovic noticed the shelving unit right away. Oh boy! All of those tiny cubby holes created perfect places of refuge for baby monocled cobras. With so many available sections, he knew it would take some time. He checked each and every potential snake sanctuary thoroughly.
How many more snakes would he find? Lovic said he would not be surprised if he found 20 more. Unfortunately for him, he was not mistaken. Everywhere he turned, more and more baby monocled cobras flew out of every hiding spot. Lovic was turning this house upside down trying to find all of them.
