Man found dead in Maryland home surrounded by 100 poisonous snakes and 14-foot Burmese python

A MAN was found dead in a Maryland home surrounded by more than 100 snakes, including a 14-foot Burmese python.

The Charles County home contained a variety of snake species including rattlesnakes, cobras, black mambas, and more, according to reports.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that the snakes were "discovered in tanks situated on racks."

The sheriff's office also shared that some of the snakes were venomous and illegally kept.

However, officials noted to that the snakes were "meticulously cared for."

Charles County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the man's cause of death, but no obvious signs of foul play were observed.

Reports indicate that all snakes were accounted for, and officials do not believe the man's death was caused by one of the reptiles.

The 49-year-old's identity has not yet been released.

On January 19, a neighbor alerted police after going to check on the man, who had not been seen for a day or so.

The man was found lying on the floor and unconscious, according to the sheriff's office.
