- 4 years ago
A family were terrified after finding a huge king cobra coming towards them in the living room.
Resident Nikom Dangnham, 47, was with her family in the living room when they all saw the snake slithering across the tiles inside their house in Krabi, southern Thailand.
The family ran out of the house and contacted the rescue team to come and catch the huge serpent on April 24.
Rescuers found the 13ft long king cobra under a spare car axle being kept in the corner of the room.
The rescue volunteers took only five minutes to catch the 44lbs serpent and put it in a sack.
The relieved house owner said it was the biggest king cobra she has ever seen.
She said: "I have seen some king cobras before but not this big. It might have come from the jungle to escape the hot weather and find a cooler place with food to eat. However, I'm glad it's going back now.''
The rescue team took the snake with them and released it back to the wild far away from the village.
