Fried snakes found in NC utility box surprise workers
City electric services workers were shocked to find two dead snakes inside a utility box while disconnecting power at a home in Morganton, N.C., and they have the photo to prove it.
“One snake slithered across two hot terminals and was electrocuted,” according to a City of Morganton Facebook post. “The second snake was biting the first and received the jolt as well.”
Mangled by the current, the snakes were frozen together, and fried to a crisp.
City workers encounter electrocuted snakes every two or three years, electric service director Brooks Kirby said.
The house was scheduled for demolition.
