\nVideos recorded at a rural north-central Arkansas home are drawing attention after showing numerous snakes gathered around the property.Century 21 Realtor Christopher White said he discovered the snakes while showing the home to a prospective buyer. White recorded video footage showing a snake attempting to enter through the home\u2019s front door while several others were seen hanging from electrical conduit near the power meter.<\/p>\n
Additional footage showed a snake moving through a partially dismantled outdoor breaker box.<\/p>\n
According to White, the home is vacant and the electricity has been disconnected.<\/p>\n
The snakes were identified as black rat snakes, a non-venomous species common in Arkansas. Black rat snakes primarily feed on rodents and other small animals and are often considered beneficial because they help control pest populations.<\/p>\n
According to the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Extension Service publication \u201cSnakes of Arkansas,\u201d state law prohibits the indiscriminate killing of snakes for sport or other reasons.<\/p>\n
The videos have since gone viral on social media, generating thousands of views and reactions.<\/p>\n
