A Sydney homeowner was stunned to find 102 venomous snakes, including 5 adults and 97 babies, in his backyard. The discovery was made when he noticed six red-bellied black snakes on a mulch pile and called snake catchers for help. They later confirmed that the snakes were likely congregating to give birth. The relocation process revealed surprising numbers, ultimately confirming a new state record for the most snakes caught in a single job, highlighting the frequent, yet astonishing, dynamics of snake populations in suburban areas.
"I was shivering and shaking at the time I saw them. Then my wife googled and found that snakes congregate like that when they're ready to give birth."
"There were 40 snakes, then 70, then 90. On final count, there were five adult females and 97 babies."
