These huge mounds attracted vermin, which brought snakes. When the snakes got into houses, people would kill them and then stretch them out on the highway to make sure they were truly dead (superstition was that a wounded snake would remember and take revenge). Padang had an enormous variety of deadly snakes, many very beautiful and exotic. The airport road during durian season was, and may still be, a place to safely see mind-boggling snakes.
