It is not clear exactly where the footage was filmed, but people in the video can be heard speaking Cantonese, suggesting that it may have been in Hong Kong.
One person can be heard saying: 'Look how big it is!' Another adds: 'How disgusting!'
A man in the video can be heard suggesting that the snake is around 20ft-long.
The workers firstly used the pole to make a bigger hole in the ceiling in order to allow the snake to come out.
