A family went through a terrifying experience on Monday night when they found two extremely venomous snakes in their bedroom. The snakes, which were tangled together in a striking display, left everyone watching in shock.
The video of the incident was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, who explained that his team got an emergency call from a village after the snakes were discovered.
“One of our beat staff got an SOS call late last night from a village. Imagine these highly venomous ‘Walls Krait’ locked in a duel inside someone’s bedroom,” Kaswan wrote on X. “The snakes were rescued and safely released soon after,” Kaswan adds in his post.
As the snakes writhed and twisted beneath the bed, villagers gathered outside, stunned, recording the jaw-dropping scene on their phones.

“Kudos to the team for safely rescue them,” one user commented. “Scary indeed, they’re responsible for most snake bite deaths in India, scary but beautiful, happy that people call rescue instead of killing them like earlier,” added another individual. A third user quipped, “Looks like bollywood Naag and naagin stuff.”
