Some residents in a place called Remraam in Dubai are worried. They have seen **snakes** in their homes and around their buildings.
One family said that snakes were seen right on apartment doorsteps. Others found them on balconies.
Parents are telling their children: don’t play near bushes that are close to construction areas. If something falls into the bushes, ask an adult to help. Some people wear gloves if they must pick up something near the bushes.
The local authority, called Dubai Municipality, is helping. They took a called‑in snake and moved it somewhere safer. They also installed traps and repellents to keep snakes away.
People think the snakes are coming because there is construction nearby. The ground being disturbed might be pushing snakes out of their old places.
The municipality is doing more things to keep everyone safe: trimming trees, cleaning up construction waste, putting more traps, and watching the area carefully.
By being careful, speaking up, and working together, the Remraam community hopes to make their homes safe again.
