The shocking sight greeted the man when he stepped into his home.
While many online were concerned about the incident, some questioned the details that didn’t quite make sense to them.
There were netizens who argued that the eggs were laid too neatly on the ground.
Additionally, the yellow soil led many to suspect the video was likely staged by a snake farm and was intended to generate online traffic.
Authorities reminded the public that May to August is the peak snake breeding season.
Unoccupied, dark, and damp homes can become ideal nesting sites.
Experts advise checking and sealing doors, cracks, and drainage before leaving a home unattended to prevent similar infestations.
