(haipo) An unusual incident occurred at a sales office in a new residential neighborhood under construction in Haifa, when a large, impressive black rattlesnake was discovered inside a communications cabinet. The snake, which apparently caused a power outage in the offices, was successfully captured by a snake catcher without harming anyone or the animal.
A large black snake inside the media cabinet ◄ Watch
Suddenly, the power went out in the sales offices. When the staff at the location opened the communications cabinet in an attempt to locate the source of the problem, they were shocked to discover a large black snake inside the cabinet. It is believed that the snake caused the power outage. The employees immediately closed the cabinet and called the pest control company responsible for the location, which contacted a snake catcher in the area. For about an hour and a half from the moment the snake was discovered until the catcher arrived, it was not clear whether the snake was still inside the cabinet, because the cabinet was not sealed.
Successful capture without harm to the snake or people
When Zohar Lahat, the snake catcher, arrived at the scene, she opened the box and found the snake still hiding inside a plastic sheet. The capture was carried out without harming the snake or people, and it turned out to be a large and impressive black cobra, a non-venomous snake considered one of the most impressive species in Israel. According to the catcher, it is not a common sight to encounter an adult black cobra in Haifa, as these snakes usually do not approach residential buildings.
The Black Snake – the Longest Snake in Israel
The black cobra is the longest snake in Israel, and can reach a length of up to two and a half meters. It is an agile and opportunistic predator that feeds on small mammals, rodents, birds and even other snakes, including vipers and even other black cobras, thus contributing to the ecological balance in nature. It is important to note that this is a wild animal protected by law.
If you saw a snake:

It would be interesting to know the address of the find.
So that the neighbors will be careful.
Where is proper public service?
What should you be careful of? A zaman is a beneficial snake and not dangerous. In general, snakes do not attack humans. Unless you mess with them.
If anything, the one to be careful of is the snake.
They only advertise it as if it and only it is captured in the Haifa area.
An advertisement claiming to have discovered a snake that doesn't really happen every day,,, Enough!
Hi Ofer, this is Zohar.
This is not an advertisement, and I am not the only one in Haifa who catches snakes, nor am I the only one who advertises here.
Why does this bother you? And yes, several snakes are discovered every day in Haifa this season.
In the spring, around April-May-June, the breeding season occurs and there are many encounters with reptiles (and snakes) and as it gets warmer, most of the gatherings move to the night and decrease during the day. Around July-August, the females lay their eggs in hiding and leave, and in early autumn, September-October, the snakes hatch from the eggs and the high temperatures also decrease, so there are again many encounters with snakes.
Haifa, as a city with a lot of nature, since it was built on Carmel, invites quite a few encounters with snakes. I hope I helped to clear up the claims or lack of knowledge.
