Weird news - Finding a snake in the toilet, and then finding many more

People get easily scared by snakes, especially when they appear in the relative safety of the urban environment; and it is right to get scared (but not panicked). There are many species of snakes that are venomous, and there are others that pack a bite that would need medical attention. Unless you are an expert, if you encounter a snake in a confined space (as opposed to say in a park where the snake has space to feel non-threatened and crawl away), it is best to call in an expert and get them to make the identification and remove the snake from that area.
Further increasing the need for calling in an expert is the following case whereby the expert searched for more snakes after one was detected and killed by the house-owners, and found 23 more snakes, and these were deadly venomous snakes, the Western diamondback rattlesnake. Now, these snakes may not have posed an imminent danger, but there is always the risk of some accident arising if the snake feels cornered or threatened in some way (link to article):
What do you do if you find a snake in your toilet? If you're Isac Mcfadden, you go get your mom. The young boy from Abilene, Texas, woke up Tuesday morning and headed to the bathroom. To his surprise, he found a rattlesnake slithering up his toilet bowl, KXVA reports. "I found this big clump, and I knew it was a snake," said Isac. He quickly called his mom, Cassie Mcfadden, who recruited one of Isac's older brothers to get a shovel to kill the snake. Cassie Mcfadden killed the snake while dad, Jason, called Big Country Snake Removal. When the technician arrived, he found 24 Western diamondback rattlesnakes -- 13 in the cellar, five adults and five babies underneath the house, and the one snake in the toilet, which had entered through a relief pipe.

Weird news - 60 deadly snakes found in school kitchen

People are absolutely petrified when it comes to poisonous snakes, given the high number of people who die of snake bite, and also because there is a general feeling of revulsion when it comes to snakes. And with poisonous snakes, even a small young snake is highly dangerous since the venom is developed and present in the snake.
This can get more problematic when there are young children involved, as happened in a school in the state of Maharashtra in India. A cook spotted two Russell vipers in the kitchen and on further investigation, a total of 60 of these deadly snakes were found. However, it ended well when the temptation to kill these snakes were controlled and they were caught and handed over to the forest department (link to article):
The spotting of so many snakes at one place created panic among students and staffers of the Zilla Parishad-run school located in Pangra Bokhare village of Hingoli district, about 225km from Aurangabad in the Marathwada region. A cook spotted two Russells vipers near the place where wood used for fuel was stored on Friday afternoon. When she started lifting more pieces of wood, she found another 58 snakes in the kitchen, he said. The school’s headmaster, Triyambak Bhosle, said, “All of us panicked after seeing so many snakes. Several villagers rushed to the spot with sticks and stones but we stopped them from killing the snakes.”
