According to Ms. N.T.T, there are many trees around, but there are few times when snake and cow enter the residential area.

It was discovered in the sandals of children living on the steps. The first time I saw such a big red-tailed snake, about 500g. Fortunately, I was sitting in front of the door to look out and discovered it in time. The incident also made my family worried" - Mr. N shared.
On N10 Street (Ward 2, Thoi Hoa Ward), Mr. N.T.T also discovered a red-tailed snake with about 400g of a cow on the street in front of his house.
"I went home from work and saw a green animal waiting in front of my house. When approaching, they discovered a red-tailed snake quite big. There are many children going out in this area, luckily I discovered it in time.

According to records, in Quarter 2, Thoi Hoa Ward, there are still few people living there, with green trees and dense forests. People said that they have seen snakehead fish many times. However, recently, snakehead fish and cow have entered in front of people's houses with more frequency.
According to a resident who is knowledgeable about snake, red-tailed male snake is a species of deadly venom. During the rainy season, floodwaters, humidity, and snake cows come out of the shelter. In addition, the rainy season is also the breeding season for luc dia snake, so they often move to high ground or can crawl into people's houses for shelter.
The first preventative measure is to avoid blurring the face around the house. In places with many temporary trees, limit going out at night. If you go outside, you need a bright flashlight to observe. In case of unfortunate bitten red-tailed snake bites, you must go to the hospital promptly.
