Snake found electrocuted after power cut

A Kuwaiti family was surprised when power suddenly went off and plunged their villa in the Gulf emirate into darkness. Their surprise turned into a shock when they found that the fault was caused by an electrocuted large snake.

After checking cables and the main switch inside the villa, the father went outside to take a look on the electric control box.

“When he opened the box, he was shocked to find there is a dead snake,” the Kuwaiti Arabic language daily Alanba said in a report from the capital Kuwait City.

“The snake had apparently sneaked into the area and crept inside the box…it was electrocuted after touching the cables.”

The paper said the man called the civil defence to come and handle the dead snake and to probe how such a big snake found its way into the area.
