A woman’s terrifying ordeal after finding an unwelcome house guest captivated social media, highlighting a common phobia and sparking urgent discussions about home safety.
The frightening clip, shared on Facebook by Pearl Di Wa DiMicrophone, garnered massive views, likes, and comments from viewers who expressed their fear of snakes, while others who knew snakes explained that it was harmless.
The video captured the woman’s genuine fear after realising that a large snake had somehow entered her house. As the woman filmed, she could be heard asking for someone to call "Tshepo," still trying to comprehend how the reptile had navigated its way inside. She noted how quickly the snake slid as it moved across the tiles, expressing deep worry that it might slither into her bedroom or another part of the house.

SA reacts to the woman’s video
The clip gained massive views and comments from mostly terrified social media users. Many viewers confessed that they would not have been able to get as close as she did, with some admitting they would have fainted from fear. Some provided practical, non-violent advice, suggesting she pour cooking oil on the tiles. They explained that the oil would prevent the snake from moving, buying her time to get help. One user, attempting to ease the anxiety, assured her that the snake was likely not poisonous and was only interested in feeding on rats.
Disclaimer: Please note: In situations like this, never attempt to harm or handle the reptile if not trained. For the safety of the animal and the individual, immediately vacate the area and contact the SPCA or a professional snake removal service. Do not attempt to kill the snake with hot water, as suggested in the video, as this is unnecessary and harmful.
