It's a proper jungle': Rome's rat and snake infestation blamed on waste problems
Briefly

Zoologist Andrea Lunerti reports an unprecedented rise in snake sightings in Rome, attributed to warm winter temperatures and increased food waste, exacerbating the city's pest issues.
With a significant uptick in snake, hornet, and rat populations, Lunerti highlights that the persistent rubbish crisis in Rome has led to a jungle-like urban environment.
Lunerti emphasizes the importance of visuals, instructing callers to send videos for identifying whether the snakes they encounter are venomous or non-venomous, noting the chaos even harmless snakes can cause.
The rat snake has become the most common sighting in Rome, with reports of them invading various locations, causing panic and prompting an increased demand for pest control services.
