Rescuers had to tear down the ceiling of a house to catch two snakes that had taken over the vacant property.<br /><br />Anawin Sukhanon heard the reptiles slithering above his head when he visited his father's home in Uthai Thani, central Thailand.<br /><br />Despite hi fears, he stayed the night then called rescue team the following morning to catch the snakes as he was concerned about them biting him.<br /><br />The rescue team had a hard time searching for the snake because they could not locate the exact spot where they were hiding.<br /><br />Since the ceiling is the only place left unsearched, the house owner gave the animal catchers permission to smash open the property. <br /><br />There they found a 5ft long golden tree snake hiding on the ceiling which was caught easily.<br /><br />Anawin said he felt bad about the old house's ceiling, but he was more worried about the snake.<br /><br />He said: "My father has been living in Bangkok and seldom comes to this house so I came back here to check on it.<br /><br />"When I told him about breaking the ceiling, he did not allow it at first but he was aware of the dangers of having a wild snake inside so he let the rescuers break it at last."<br /><br />The team was about to leave when they heard another snake slithering above so they had to smash more parts of ceiling to reach a smaller 4ft long serpent, the same species as the first one.<br /><br />Rescuer Yuen Thongsuan said: "The two golden tree snakes we found may be family. Their venom is not as dangerous as the cobra's but it is still bad to have them in a house."
