The snakes discovered by the electricians (Facebook)

Two electricians had the fright of their lives recently when they went to repair an electricity box and found two snakes inside.

The shocking discovery was made by workmen in the town of Morganton, North Carolina, in the States.

The workmen took a photo which was posted on to the local council’s Facebook page on April 4 and has received almost 4,000 likes already.

Luckily for the workmen - if not the snakes - both reptiles were dead.

I hate snakes. I usually Judge 4 or 5 very harshly every year.

Wait until a live 6 foot snake comes flying out of the toilet hitting his head in the middle of your forehead.

The last time I had my head in a toilet bowl was over 30 years ago...........

If you're still getting hit in the forehead with snakes from your toilet at your age then I would suggest you give up drinking.............:)

“One snake had died trying to chomp through an electrical cable, the other while biting it’s companion’s tail.”

The snake whose head I can see isn’t chomping onto a electrical cable, it’s latched onto a piece of hardware that doesn’t look like it should be hot. It might have accidentally completed a circuit with its body somewhere and in spasm got ahold of the metal part.

What the other snake is up to I can’t tell.

If the snakes were in contact with each other and one of them came in contact with the hot side lugs and touched neutral or a ground {the box itself} then that is what killed both. A bird can sit on a utility company high voltage conductor and not be harmed. It bird is not in contact with any path back to ground. Birds when ready simply fly off. Squirrels are a different matter. They get fried usually by getting around a transformer and touching the primary side to ground.

While rebuilding my house years ago the lights in the bathroom would not work. While crawling around in the attic trying to find the cause, there was a mummified dead rat with his burned jaws firmly planted around the electric wire.

Good thing the breaker prevented the house from burning down.

When I was doing my Army time on Okinawa fifty years ago it was apparently common for “Habu” snakes to slither up electrical poles on island, drape themselves across the wires, and short out large areas of electrical service - they would obviously be fried in the process, but there more than enough of them around to make it a fairly common, to-be-expected irritant.....

Rodents [and possibly snakes] are extremely attracted to the frequencies of electrical wires.

I think it was Japan, where rats chewed all the wires in the subfloor of some incredibly expensive, high tech business and basically ruined the place.

Normally, due to the unique structure of rat mouths, they get away with doing this, alive.

Sometimes, they don’t.

Thank goodness your particular rat did not destroy your house!

Bet that didn’t require any follow-up ExLax.
