Snake handlers used large candles to catch a large cobra that was hiding under a man's house.<br /> <br />Jirasak Chuenarom, 38, was climbing down the steps of his home in Chachoengsao, central Thailand when he saw the 6ft cobra coiled user the staircase on September 16. <br /> <br />The startled snake swiftly took refuge underneath his raised cement home so he called the rescue team.<br /> <br />After spotting Jirasak's single storey home, the specialist knew the task wouldn't be easy.<br /> <br />They attempted to scare the cobra out by spraying water in using a hose, and also drilled into the steel where the snake was hiding but to no avail.<br /> <br />The neighbours also came to assist in the mission by spraying pesticides into the snake's hiding spot, but it showed no sign of budging. <br /> <br />Rescue team members then bought two medium-sized Buddhist lent candles. The specialist lit the candles up and began to heat up the cobra's location. <br /> <br />The jet-black cobra couldn't stand the heat and crawled out of the basement. The team quickly grabbed the snake's head.<br /> <br />Jirasak said: "I was so shocked when I saw the snake crawling past the stairs. I took out the torch to scare it and called the team right away."<br /> <br />The captured cobra was released back into the forest.
