Trapped....!!! May I Help You???

Indian rat Snake(Ptyas mucosa) Is one of the commonest snake found in India, especially in societies. These snakes  mainly  feed upon rats, so called as rat snake. Indian Rat snake is very fast in movement, and aggressive when threatened. Although Non-venomous, bites are painful.

On 27^th October 2014, I received a snake call from “SKYLARK C.H.S”  Juhu-versova link road, Andheri (W), Mumbai-400058.

The informer was the secretary of the same society, He said that the snake was trapped in the Nylon net at society play ground. I rushed at the site and saw an Indian Rat Snake trapped badly in net.

To make it free had to cut the nets. After a comfortable head grab it is easy to cut the nets and remove the snake safely. The length of this snake was about 5 feet but it’s tail was missing, must have lost its tail in the past. It took 15-20 minutes to cut the net and remove the snake safely.

Society member’s were co-operative and helped me during rescuing the snake… On my right is the secretary and to my left is the active member of the same society who helped me providing my equipment's for rescuing the snake.

The Snake was released back to wild on the same day…!!!

THANK YOU...!!!
