Two massive snakes have been found dead as one tried to eat the other which had been electrocuted resulting in the death of the two reptiles.
The snakes were found dead
Workers in a North Carolina city found a snake had gotten itself electrocuted at a home slated for demolition and a second snake died while trying to eat the first, UPI reports.
The City of Morgantown said in a Facebook post that Electric Services Department workers visited a home last week to disconnect the power prior to its scheduled demolition and they were greeted with a bizarre sight when they opened the electrical box.
It wrote on Facebook: "City of Morganton Electric Services Department Workers were in for a surprise last week when they went to disconnect power at a house on E. Parker Road. The house is scheduled to be demolished.
"When the City workers opened the electrical box, they were greeted by two dead snakes that had managed to climb into the box. One snake slithered across two hot terminals and was electrocuted; the second snake was biting the first and received the jolt as well. Electric Services Director Brooks Kirby said his guys come across fried snakes every two or three years, and that’s one time too many!"
