Serpent Adventures You can't change the world by saving an animal, but you can change that animal's life.

As effective conservation actions lead to increasing wildlife populations, they often come into conflict with burgeoning human populations with which they share space. Resolving human-wildlife conflict has thus become an important aspect of conservation science especially in biologically rich and densely populated countries like India. However, most research in this sphere concerns large, charisma

tic organisms, which are restricted to small regions in a vast country. Human-snake conflict on the other hand is not restricted to pockets of natural habitats and is probably the most common and the most widespread form of such conflict in India occurring in both remote villages and densely populated cities.

A SNAKE INSIDE THE LIFT!

Found inside an apartment lift, this feisty water snake was clearly not interested in cooperating. And once it feels threatened, this species has some seriously impressive defensive behaviour.

But there’s much more to the Checkered Keelback than what you see in this rescue…

I’ve dropped a comment with some CRAZY facts about this snake 👇🏻

WHY DO SNAKES ENTER OUR HOMES?

I was at work when I received a call from a man who was clearly panicked. His family was at home, he was away, and there was a snake inside the house. “Please reach here as soon as possible,” he said, sharing the location.

I immediately took a break, called Rahmath, picked him up on the way and headed straight to Yadavgiri.

When we reached, two family members were anxiously waiting at the entrance. Inside the gate, a pile of stored junk immediately caught my attention.

“Where’s the snake?”

“The utility area… at the back.”

The lady was so frightened that she pointed us towards the door and stepped back. I opened it and found cooking utensils and other household items piled inside. She pointed towards one object and said, “Me and the maid saw it go underneath that.”

I carefully lifted it—and there it was.

A Russell’s Wolf Snake.

I picked it up calmly, but the moment she saw the snake in my hand… she screamed.

I explained that this is a harmless, non-venomous snake, commonly found around homes where it comes looking for lizards and geckos. They’re also excellent climbers.

Before leaving, I requested the family to keep the surroundings clean and maintain better visibility around stored materials.

The snake was later released safely into the nearest suitable natural habitat.

One frightened phone call. One rescue. One more life saved.

Nag Panchami is a beautiful festival that brings together faith, folklore, agriculture and our connection with nature. For generations, Nāga deities have been worshipped for protection, prosperity, fertility and harmony with nature.

But there’s an important message we can carry forward: we can respect the tradition without putting a live snake through unnecessary stress. ❤️

In different parts of India, people celebrate Nag Panchami in different ways — worshipping Nāga idols or drawings, visiting temples, offering flowers, praying for well-being, observing fasts and following traditional practices connected with agriculture.

🐍 Snakes also play an important role in our ecosystems, especially by helping control rodents and other pests that can affect crops.

So this Nag Panchami, let’s remember the difference between worshipping the symbol and handling the living animal.

Offerings can be made to idols or representations, but not forced into the mouth of a live snake.

And one more thing — not every snake is venomous, but never try to identify or handle an unfamiliar snake yourself.

Let’s not make this a debate between faith and science. Let’s bring knowledge, compassion and tradition together.

Worship the symbol.
Respect the tradition.
Protect the living animal. 🐍❤️

Because perhaps the most meaningful way to honour Nagas is to allow real snakes to live safely in the wild.

No judgement. No criticism.
Just learning, one fact at a time.

Meet the Common Trinket Snake—one of India’s most beautiful and often misunderstood non-venomous snakes! 🐍✨

🔹 Non-venomous & harmless to humans — despite its intimidating appearance.
🔹 Known for its beautiful patterns and glossy scales, which make it easy to mistake for a venomous species.
🔹 It is an excellent rodent controller, helping maintain the natural balance around farms and human settlements. 🌿🐀
🔹 Mostly active during the night and twilight hours, when it actively searches for prey.
🔹 When threatened, it may flatten its body, hiss, and strike defensively—a warning display, not an attempt to hunt humans.
🔹 Like many snakes, it plays an important role in the ecosystem by controlling populations of rodents, lizards and other small prey.

SNAKE WAS 12 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND!

I was at work when I received a call reporting a snake inside a house in a village nearly 30 km from my home. The caller said it had taken refuge inside the traditional roof tiles.

I immediately called Rahmath. He arrived in no time, picked me up, and we rushed to the location.

An elderly man was waiting for us on the road. He led us through a narrow path to the house, where another man was standing below the roof with a long bamboo stick, carefully keeping an eye on the snake.

He told us he had been sleeping on a cot when he suddenly noticed the snake moving across the wooden supports of the roof. Shocked, he ran outside, called for help, and then returned with the bamboo stick to keep track of it until we arrived.

The roof was easily 10–12 feet above the floor! 😳

While they arranged a ladder, I checked around the house for any openings through which the snake might have entered or escaped. In traditional tiled-roof houses, the gaps between tiles often provide perfect shelter for rodents, squirrels—and sometimes snakes searching for them.

Once the ladder arrived, Rahmath and I climbed up. And there it was…

A large Indian Rat Snake, tightly coiled inside a tiny gap beneath one of the roof tiles. 🐍

I carefully lifted the tile, created enough space, and gradually pulled the snake out. We brought it safely down while everyone gathered outside watched nervously.

As the snake moved towards the door, people started running in fear. I stopped them and explained that this was an Indian Rat Snake—non-venomous, harmless to people, and one of the best natural rodent controllers.

Often called a “Farmer’s Friend,” these snakes play an important role in controlling rats and other pests.

I asked if they were comfortable with me releasing it in an open field nearby, but they were understandably worried about having the snake close to their home. I respected their concern, safely secured the snake, and transported it to a suitable natural habitat where it could continue doing what it does best.

A Russell’s Viper…RESTING ON A PIPE NEARLY 9 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND?! 😳🐍

I never expected to find a Russell’s Viper in a place like this. After battling Mysuru’s ever-growing traffic, I reached a plastic recycling industry where workers had reported spotting a snake. The owner led me to the location and pointed towards the far end of the wall. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

Then he said, “Look beside the switchboard.”

To my surprise, there it was…a beautiful Russell’s Viper calmly resting on a pipe nearly 9 feet above the ground, perfectly camouflaged.

Curious, I asked how he had even noticed it. He explained that while standing beside the switchboard charging his phone, he suddenly saw the snake flick its tongue. That single movement caught his attention. Otherwise, the viper could have remained unnoticed for hours.

The rescue was carried out safely without harming the snake or anyone around. I later advised all the workers to wear gloves and gum boots while working inside the industry, as such environments can unknowingly provide shelter for wildlife.

The Russell’s Viper was finally released into a nearby suitable natural habitat where it belongs. 🐍💚

⚠️Never attempt to rescue or handle a snake yourself. Stay calm, maintain a safe distance, and contact a trained rescuer.

HOW DOES AN INDIAN RAT SNAKE DO THIS?

Watching this massive Indian Rat Snake hang effortlessly with nearly half its body suspended in mid-air while feeding on a rat was one of the most fascinating sights I’ve witnessed.

Indian Rat Snakes are built for climbing. Their long, muscular bodies, broad belly scales (ventral scales), and powerful muscles allow them to grip rough walls, tree trunks, pipes, and even sheet roofs with remarkable stability. Instead of relying on limbs, every part of their body works together to provide balance, flexibility, and strength.

Rodents often hide inside roof gaps, wall cavities, false ceilings, and other narrow spaces. Using their excellent sense of smell and their flickering tongue to collect scent particles (which are analyzed by the Jacobson’s organ), these snakes can accurately track their prey even when it’s out of sight. Once close enough, they strike with lightning speed, seize the rodent, and begin swallowing it whole—often while remaining securely anchored to a wall or roof.

Moments like these remind us why the Indian Rat Snake is one of nature’s finest pest controllers, silently helping keep rodent populations under control.

⚠️ Please admire these incredible animals from a safe distance and never attempt to handle or rescue a snake yourself. Contact a trained rescuer instead.
