Boto3 displaying so many ec2 snapshots none of of the snapshots are not owned by me

Question

I have write to generate list for all the available snapshots in a region. I got 45 snapshots as output. Actually , I have only 5 snapshots in my region as well as in my account.

I have tried with python version 3.6, Boto3 and CentOS7.

Could you anyone wakeup me, Please.

Thanks, Karan

Here is my simple script for list the available snapshots in a region.

#!/usr/bin/python3.6
import boto3
region='xx-xxxx-x'
ec2=boto3.resource('ec2',region_name=region)
try:
        snapshos=ec2.snapshots.all()
        for snap in snapshos:
                print(snap.id,snap.state)
except AttributeError as e:
        print('Error', e)

output:

This might help..

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='us-east-1')

response = client.describe_images(Owners=['self'])
for ami in response['Images']:
  print (ami['ImageId'])
