Snake Found Camouflaged on Christmas Tree Star
A family in Bulacan experienced a surprise on Christmas morning after finding a snake quietly resting on the star ornament at the top of their Christmas tree, transforming a cheerful holiday setup into a shocking scene.
The discovery happened after the family noticed that the tree’s star topper did not look right. It appeared slightly tilted, initially suggesting a minor decorating issue. When they moved closer to adjust it, they realized there was something unusual on top of the ornament. What they first mistook as part of the decoration turned out to be a real snake, nearly invisible because it blended well with the Christmas tree.

“Napansin namin na ‘yung Christmas star sa Christmas tree is nakahapay. Nung aayusin na namin, dun na namin napansin na may something dun sa ibabaw nung star, which is a snake pala. ‘Yung Christmas tree is kakulay niya. Maganda ‘yung pattern nung balat niya and shiny siya,”
he recalled.
“Isa sa natutunan ko dun sa group is treat every snake na venomous until ma-ID mo siya. So hindi ko siya hinandle. Gumamit ako ng mahabang stick,”
he explained.
