Startled by "Strange Noises," Resident Lifts Blanket to Find Snake; Likely Entered Through Toilet

[Anchor] First, a snake over 1 meter long was discovered in an apartment living room. That must have been incredibly shocking.

[Reporter] Yes, this happened at an apartment in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, on the evening of July 1.

A resident, identified as A, was lying in the living room when they heard a strange noise coming from inside their blanket. Upon lifting it, they discovered a snake nearly 1 meter long and immediately reported the incident.

The resident described the situation, saying, "I was so shocked that it has left me traumatized."

The snake is believed to be a black kingsnake, a species commonly kept as a pet.

Given that a snake skin was found near the toilet in the bathroom, it is suspected that a pet snake escaped from a neighboring unit and entered through the drainage pipes or the toilet.

The fire department, which arrived after receiving the report, safely captured the snake and reportedly released it into a remote stream.
