WATCH: Highly venomous snakes found writhing under Indian family's bed
Snakes under a bed
A family in an Indian village faced a nightmarish time on Monday night after it discovered two venomous snakes contorted with each other. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan posted the viral goosebumps-inducing video showing the snakes twisted and entangled.
He wrote that the family spotted the snakes in the bedroom and sent an SOS call to one of his team members in the middle of the night. The snakes belonged to the highly venomous species Walls Krait. They were locked in a battle inside the family's home right under their bed.
"One of our beat staff got an SOS call late last night from a village. Imagine these highly venomous ‘Walls Krait’ locked in a duel inside someone’s bedroom," Kaswan said on X.
The team rescued the snakes and released them into the wild, he further stated. The name of the village was not mentioned.

Fighting or mating?
Meanwhile, several netizens reacting to the video seem to think that the snakes weren't actually engaged in a duel but were actually caught in the midst of mating. They went on to thank the team for safely rescuing the snakes and the family.
"Thank you and your team for your service to these creatures. Males competing for a date, there must be a female in the vicinity," one of them wrote.
"Kudos to the team for safely rescue them," one wrote, with another adding "Congratulations to your team. The green soldiers."
Several people couldn't help but spot the similarities with Hindi films based on snakes. "Looks like Bollywood Naag and naagin stuff," one of them wrote, with another adding, "Like a scene from a Hindi movie."
