Guizhou, China – A routine snake report turned into an unexpected discovery when responders found three snakes instead of the two initially reported behind a rural home.

A farmer had contacted authorities after spotting two snakes near the back of the house.

When firefighters arrived on scene, they searched the area and located not only two large snakes but also a smaller one nearby.

All three snakes were safely captured, forming what rescuers described as a “family of three” during the operation.

The animals were then transported away from the residential area and released into a nearby mountain forest to ensure safety for both residents and wildlife.

The original post included a caption noting that the snakes were found together and jokingly describing the situation as, “We usually go out as a family.”
