Looks like love is in the air for everyone on Valentine\u2019s Day after a visitor at Point Mugu State Park in Malibu captured a video of two snakes getting their roll on in a pile of hay.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, that\u2019s exactly what happened. Early Saturday morning, the park visitor stumbled upon the kingsnakes mid-romance, catching the scaly brown and beige striped pair in the act.<\/p>\n

This year, however, Valentine\u2019s Day seemed to rouse the sleepy reptiles early for a surprise rendezvous.<\/p>\n
The California State Parks account on X posted the footage alongside cheeky caption: \u201cLove is in the air and on the trail!<\/p>\n
Clearly, love slithers past every boundary. x\/CAStateParks<\/p>\n
