— Things got quite sssspicy near Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland, Florida, this week.

After residents began reporting snake sightings to the Lakeland Parks and Recreation Department, the department and the city's Public Works Department began investigating.

Turns out it's mating season for the Florida water snake, officials said, and a large group snakes have gathered near the lake for a giant orgy. Caution tape was put up around the area to increase public awareness of the snake orgy

"It appears they have congregated for mating," the department said in a Facebook post. "They are non-venomous and generally not aggressive as long as people do not disturb them."

3. Something about this is special...Many people think all snakes are "dangerous."

Very few are "dangerous." This is a friendly story about animals that need to be treated with "respect" in my opinion. I have read that some snakes eat rats and other animals we do consider "dangerous."

So...Let's hear it for snakes...

5. Too bad Lakeland isn't closer to Mar-a-Lago.

Sure, they aren't dangerous, but who wants to see that all day?
