A SNAKE orgy has broken out in Florida.
Park officials in the city of Lakeland are warning members of the public to keep away from the reptile romps for their own safety.
Serpents gather annually to make love in the region near Lake Hollingsworth.
The exhibitionists have been identified as Florida water snakes, the city’s parks and recreation department wrote on Facebook.
“They are non-venomous and generally not aggressive as long as people do not disturb them,” the department added.
“Once the mating is over they should go their separate ways.”
Officials have put up tape in the area to warn passersby of the randy creatures.
Signs are being hung up to make the public aware of their presence.
“This is for the protection of the public and the snakes,” the department said.
