They Knew There Were Termites Inside Door Frame, Found 39 Snakes Too

A cleaning spree at a house in Maharashtra's Gondia threw up a shocker after as many as 39 small snakes were fished out of a termite-infested door frame. Two snake catchers, who took about four hours to catch the snakes, later released them into a nearby forest. Sitaram Sharma, the house owner, said the house was constructed 20 years back. The door frame, he said, had been eaten away by termites. Last week, when the maid was cleaning the hose, she caught a little snake and saw some others slithering inside the frame.
