Around fifty council homes have been affected by the invasion of the harmless reptiles.

Motril Ayuntamiento has met today with the fifty or so local residents who have been affected by a plague of culebras de herradura, horseshoe whip snakes, inoffensive and protected snakes which have taken residence in the roofs of some homes in the town.
Following several unsuccessful attempts by the local fire service to capture the snakes, the local Town Hall says that they are unable to deal with the problem as the only way to kill the snakes is to remove the roof and they have called for the help of the Junta de Andalucía who own the assisted housing concerned.
The snakes, typically two centimetres across and a metre and a half in length, feed only on small insects or birds and their eggs.
