snake ping
That’s nothing. You want shocking? Wait until a live 6 foot snake comes flying out of the toilet hitting his head in the middle of your forehead.
“One snake died biting the electric cord and the other snake died while biting the first snake’s tail...”
What were these snakes into?!!!
What drew them into the conduit box in the first place?
I hate snakes. I usually Judge 4 or 5 very harshly every year.
“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.
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.....
