GREENWOOD, S.C., June 1 (UPI) -- A South Carolina man came home to find two unexpected house guests as a pair of live snakes were dangling from his ceiling.

Mark Hyatt shared video of the two intertwined snakes hanging from his attic as he looked on in disbelief while holding a broom to ward them off.


"Yes, this is what I came home to today. I got one out (after some violent hand to hand combat,) but the other is lost in the house somewhere. Anyone want to come for a sleep over at my place tonight?"

Hyatt can be heard bargaining with the snakes and pleading with them to to stay out of his bedroom and leave the house.

Several commenters on Hyatt's video also noted that the snakes' intertwined position usually indicates mating.
