A nightmare is more often than not just that a nightmare.
But sometimes it comes true, like when a sleeping man in Rayong, Thailand woke up to find a venomous snake nestled in his boxer shorts.
This led to a hasty snake retrieval operation, which was uploaded onto snake rescuer Ner KhwaiTai's Facebook on Jun. 8, 2024.
According to Thai news media Thaiger, the caption read: "A little cobra with big venom. It seeks warmth in humans boxer shorts. Dont catch the wrong snake!"
Snake retrieval
The video showed two spritely Snake and Rescue Rayong personnel on their way to retrieve the reptile. They entered a house, and were greeted with the sight of a half-naked man lying on the floor.
He pointed to his boxers. Squatting down beside the man, one rescuer shone a torchlight at his boxers.
"Stay very still," he cautioned the man lying prone. He then used a snake hook and reached into the leg of the shorts.
Out came the tail of a snake, followed by the critter's head, which peered out of the underwear. The snake was then removed from its temporary shelter and put in a bag.
