Snake Rescues in Mumbai...!!!

As a (zoology) Student... i always loved studying identification of snakes and handling them... and so started rescuing snakes from near by area... snakes are harmless.... but if threatened can harm you for sure...

Last night rescued a Non-venomous snake called Checkered Keelback (Xenochrophis piscator) from a society namely ONGC colony A-type,poonam nagar,jogeshwari-vikhroli link road, andheri-east...
the size of the snake was around 3.5 fts and was quite healthy... these snakes are very common through out India especially in fresh water bodies...feeds on frogs,rodents and birds occasionally...
the caller had kept an eye on snake.. as i reached.. saw the snake hiding in dabris... with the help of hook just uncoiled the snake, caught it tail at first and bagged it.., the snake was released safely with in 25 mins of rescue...









 Thank you all for reading my post.....!!!!!!!
