Terrifying! 18 Baby Cobras Found Nesting Under Demak Resident's House

A total of 18 baby cobras were found nesting under the house of a resident in Dukuh Karangturi, Bogosari Village, Guntur District, Demak Regency. The juvenile snakes emerged from a hole in the wooden floor after petrol was poured into it.

The discovery of the baby cobras began when the homeowner found a snake in the house on Saturday (11 July) and immediately contacted the fire brigade for evacuation.

Endra Toga Perdana, Head of Civil Protection and Fire Service for the Demak Regency Public Order Agency, stated that his team arrived at the scene around 1.30 p.m. Western Indonesian Time. Officers found a hole believed to be a snake nest and subsequently poured petrol into it, causing the baby cobras to emerge.

‘The house is not directly on the ground; the floor is made of wooden planks with a smooth hole leading underneath. After analysis, it was determined that this was definitely a snake, not a crab,’ Toga said.

The evacuation process took two hours. However, officers have not yet found the mother cobra. ‘The mother hasn’t come out yet. We couldn’t go straight in because we would have had to dismantle the floor to get underneath, so we poured petrol in first. The mother hasn’t been found,’ he added.
