Posted by 5 Signs Your House is Being invaded by a Swift Swarm of Snakes!
When your pets and their caretakers do not practice proper insect control and sanitation, a swarm of poisonous snakes may appear in the household. These snakes are non-venomous, but their venom is enough to be potentially fatal to humans. In fact, nearly all pet and wild reptile bite each year in the United States are from snakes that are known to carry venom. There are eight snake families in North America, with two to three different kinds of snakes being most common in the environment.
There are several different kinds of these beastly beasts, each possessing differing size, color, number of limbs, and unique predatory habits. A few examples of non-venomous snakes that can generate a swarm of poisonous gas are the common cobra, king cobra, brown reclusive, eastern red, green, eastern yellow, snapping turtle, pit viper, and the timber rattlesnake. Some of the aforementioned can grow up to 3 feet long.
A number of species of these reptiles tend to move around in packs, and can even travel in packs of up to ten thousand pounds each. In the event that a single giant rattlesnake does not enough to disperse a swarm, many other smaller snakes will take advantage of the weakened prey and eat it alive. The smaller and weaker snakes will then proceed to attack and consume whatever living matter remains, resulting in a very large and dangerous mess. Additionally, because the prey is killed so quickly and the gills do not remain unharmed, these creatures are able to move around and disperse the poison in the air for as long as they please.
These creatures have also been found carrying RATS, rodents of various kinds. RATS, short for red-tailed boa, are known to be carriers of various kinds of salmonella. Common causes of illness by RATS include: food poisoning, contact with poisonous bait, contact with animals carrying the virus, and having an open wound. This type of venomous snake typically attacks larger game, but can also be aggressive towards snakes and lizards as well.
Swarm of Crocodiles: This is a common cause for loss of life among swimmers and hunters. Large crocodiles tend to form into large, organized packs and can even take down hunters and eat their flesh. A crocodile swarm can consist of hundreds of crocodiles, and it usually invades an area for several days before the entire crocodile population comes together to repel any outsiders.
