In some countries, a large number of flats are not being sold easily, or do not have people living in them.
The media reported that higher electricity bills were used to detect that a flat in china was being used to keep a large number of pythons.
People were surprised to find a large snake outdoors, since the weather was cold. The local officials found that the electricity bill was very high for a particular flat.
After investigating, they found that there were more than 300 pythons in the flat, and the electricity bill was high because the rooms were heated.
The snake owner was sourcing white mice to feed the pythons.
