Resident Shocked to Find Over 1-Meter-Long Snake Under Blanket

[Anchor] A snake over a meter long was found in an apartment living room. It must have been a terrifying experience.

[Reporter] Yes, this incident occurred 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 under their blanket. Upon lifting it, they discovered a snake measuring one meter in length and immediately reported it.

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 shed snake skin was found near the toilet in the bathroom, authorities suggest the possibility that a pet snake escaped from a neighboring unit and entered the apartment through the drainage pipes or the toilet.

The fire department arrived at the scene following the report, safely captured the snake, and released it into a remote stream.
