On the 7th, an upstream news reporter contacted a villager from Baimatang Village, Shimen Town, Tongxiang. She said that in the past two days, some cobras have indeed been found in the village, and it is unknown whether there are thousands of them. It is said that they ran out of the breeding house, and everyone is worried about travel safety. "It is said that someone rented a house for villagers to raise snakes, and the snakes somehow escaped. The relevant departments are also catching them now." Another villager also confirmed that some cobras had appeared in the village, and the whole village is investigating, but the specific number is unclear.
Local fire department staff said that they did receive a report a few days ago that snakes were found in Baimatang Village, and firefighters have gone to the scene to dispose of them.
