Residents along the Kericho-Kisumu highway are living in fear as snakes have invaded their neighbourhoods. Where is Corner C in Kericho? In a video shared by @lucolive, snakes were seen slithering from a distance. At one point, snakes were on a tree next to a road basking away, which caused a lot of drama as people stopped to look at it. “I have personally seen three or four snakes and even went further down the small hill and saw the hole where it hides. It is not a normal snake,” said a resident of Corner C resident in Kericho. “These snakes are very dangerous to the kids and women going to get water. We are living in a lot of danger, especially in the evening because we keep wondering if the snakes have passed or not,” said another resident. Corner C residents now want the Kenya Wildlife Service to come and pick up the snakes. Kenyans react to the video gemsiaya: “What they call giant snake is actually a tiny snake for those who have seen what a giant snake looks like.” jacybaby: “Nyoka nikitu ya kuongopa kweli na wakienda ukambani watasema aje na vile ziko mingi uko.” Maggy Mutuku973: “Sasa nyoka ni kitu mnaongopa hivo surely na mkifika kwetu wenye tuko Tsavo.” isahmwangi: “Could it be bcoz of this extreme cold,zinapotea kwa msitu?” excel-7: “Tuko mahali pahali pa hatari tuneza athirika hata tuneza kufa 💔.” son of anarchy: “That snake is not poisonous and it wont attack anyone unless provoke it kills its prey by squeezing.”
