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, charismatic 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.

PART - 2 : COBRA FALLS 30 FEET During Rescue!

I knew the snake was hiding somewhere around the building, but when I investigated from outside, I realised the crevice was almost 30 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND! 😳

The story was even crazier than I expected. The sub-adult Spectacled Cobra had first been spotted inside the Mechanical Department staff room, partially hanging beside a lecturer’s table while feeding on two bat pups. 🐍🦇 After the sudden attention from everyone, it slipped deeper into a crevice and disappeared.

There was no ladder to reach that height from the ground, so I went to the terrace, jumped onto the architectural chhajja and carefully reached the spot. The crack was just below the platform. 😰

My snake hook was too big to fit inside, so I used an iron rod and welding rod to carefully work the cobra out. I had to lie across the chhajja and reach into the crevice… one wrong move and it could have been disastrous. 🐍😳

And then… THE COBRA SLIPPED OUT AND FELL NEARLY 30 FEET TO THE GROUND! 😱💥

I immediately climbed down from the third floor and started searching through knee-high grass. Thankfully, it hadn’t escaped. I spotted it, safely guided it into a shaded area with the snake hook—and just before I could bag it, the cobra regurgitated the bat pups it had consumed, most likely due to the stress of the ordeal. 🦇🐍

After allowing it to settle, I safely bagged the cobra, educated everyone gathered there about the species and released it back into a suitable natural habitat. 🌿🐍❤️

From my college calling me back… to a 30-foot cobra rescue I’ll never forget. 🎓🐍🔥

⚠️ Never attempt to approach, handle or rescue a snake yourself. Contact a trained snake rescuer.

PART 1 : MY COLLEGE CALLED ME BACK… BUT THIS TIME, FOR A SNAKE RESCUE!

I studied here, graduated from here… and this time, I was back at ATME College of Engineering for a completely different reason — a snake rescue!

When I got the call from the staff, a flood of college memories came rushing back. Meeting my lecturers again was even more special — they still remembered me and, to my surprise, even follow my snake rescue videos!

But the nostalgia quickly turned into action! The snake had taken refuge almost 30 feet above the ground, hiding deep inside a crack. I even had to jump onto the chhajja to reach it!

And here’s the craziest part…
The snake had reportedly been spotted feeding on bats!

What happened next? Let’s just say getting to the snake was only half the challenge…

WE FOUND SOMETHING UNEXPECTED BURIED INSIDE A SCRAP YARD…

Late last night, we received a video showing snake eggs inside a scrap yard. By the next morning, we reached the spot to carefully assess and rescue them.

But here’s something fascinating about snake eggs

Not all snakes lay eggs. Some species give birth to live young.

Snake eggs are soft and leathery, unlike the hard-shelled eggs of birds.

🌡️ Temperature and humidity are crucial for embryo development, which is why moving eggs without proper knowledge can be dangerous for the developing embryos.

Most snakes don’t guard their eggs after laying them. However, some species show remarkable parental care. King Cobras build nests and guard their eggs, while Indian Rock Pythons coil around and incubate their eggs.

Depending on the species and environmental conditions, incubation can take weeks to several months.

Every egg represents a potential new life.

That’s why this wasn’t simply a pile of eggs in a scrap yard—it was a clutch of lives that needed to be protected from human disturbance.

⚠️ NEVER HANDLE OR MOVE SNAKE EGGS YOURSELF. CONTACT A TRAINED WILDLIFE RESCUER.

PART-2 : WE SAVED FOUR BABIES… BUT THEIR MOTHER WAS NEVER COMING BACK.

After rescuing all four Asian Palm Civet kittens, I asked the caller to take me to their deceased mother, whose body was reportedly inside the farm.
It was late at night and the farm was locked, so we carefully climbed over the gate and searched until we found her.
The sight was heartbreaking. The adult mother had likely been dead for around a day. Her body was badly decomposed, with flies and insects around it. The unbearable smell made it difficult to stay there even for a minute.
We couldn’t know exactly what had happened to her. We only knew her four little ones had lost their mother. Before leaving, I requested the caller to arrange her burial the next morning.
But one big question remained: Where would the four babies go?
The next morning, I contacted Mysuru Forest Cell, Mysuru Zoo, and PFA Wildlife, Bengaluru, for help.
Mysuru Zoo explained that they couldn’t accept the kittens because they already had several civets and limited space. Rescued animals also require protocol checks and official approvals.
I then contacted Dr. Nawaz Shariff, veterinarian and in-charge at PFA Wildlife, Bengaluru, and explained the situation. After hearing the story, he agreed to take all four little ones.
After receiving permission from Mysuru Forest Cell, I went to PFA Mysuru and safely handed over the kittens. They were then transported to PFA Wildlife, Bengaluru, in their in-house ambulance.
That evening, I finally received the update I was waiting for!

ALL FOUR KITTENS HAD REACHED BENGALURU SAFELY!

The team examined them and confirmed they were healthy, but needed proper care, monitoring, and attention.

A heartfelt thank you to Mysuru Forest Cell, PFA Mysuru, and PFA Wildlife Bengaluru, especially Dr. Nawaz Shariff, for supporting us throughout this rescue.

This wasn’t just about saving four animals—it was about giving four innocent lives another chance.
Their mother may be gone, but their story doesn’t end here.

Part 1 : A DEAD MOTHER. FOUR ORPHANED BABIES. ONE MIDNIGHT RESCUE THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING!

It was 11:15 PM. Rahmath and I had just completed a Russell’s Viper rescue when my phone rang. An unknown caller said, “There are four baby black cats on the road. Their mother is dead. Please come and rescue them!” Without wasting a second, I informed the Forest Officer, started my vehicle, and rushed 25–30 km with Rahmath. Every minute mattered. The tiny babies could disappear into the bushes or get run over by passing vehicles. When we arrived, I spotted one little civet emerging from the bushes before quickly hiding again. It was frightened, alone, and far too young to survive without its mother. The caller had already rescued three babies and safely placed them inside a crate. He explained that he had been driving his tractor home when he suddenly noticed the tiny animals on the road. He managed to secure three but couldn’t catch the fourth, which had disappeared into the bushes. When I asked about their mother, his answer broke my heart. She had been found dead inside the farm earlier that morning. He believed these four little ones were her babies. I carefully transferred the three kittens into our rescue box and went back into the bushes to find the last one. After gently securing it, I reunited all four siblings inside the box. Thankfully, all four Asian palm civet kittens were healthy, active, and safe! Had they been left alone, they could have fallen victim to passing vehicles, street dogs, or other predators. Four tiny lives had just received a second chance.

But what happened next? The rescue story continues in PART 2… STAY TUNED!

You check your footwear before wearing it… but would you ever expect THIS to be hiding beside it?

During this rescue, a Common Krait (Bungarus caeruleus) was found hiding among footwear inside a house.

And here’s what makes this snake particularly fascinating—and dangerous:

It is almost entirely nocturnal. Unlike many snakes that you may encounter during the day, Common Kraits are most active from late evening through the early morning. During daylight hours, they can be surprisingly sluggish and secretive.

The bite can be deceptively quiet. Krait bites can cause little or no obvious local swelling or pain, meaning a person may not immediately realise they have been bitten. This is one reason night-time bites can be particularly dangerous.

Its venom is primarily neurotoxic. Instead of mainly destroying tissue around the bite, its toxins interfere with communication between nerves and muscles, potentially causing progressive paralysis and respiratory failure.

And here’s a fact many people don’t know: the Common Krait is primarily ophiophagous—meaning it eats other snakes. Documented prey includes other snake species, and even cannibalism has been recorded.

Even more fascinating: researchers have found that Common Krait venom can vary significantly between populations from different parts of India. So, geographically, not every Common Krait has exactly the same venom profile.

This is why never assuming a snake is harmless just because it is calm is so important.

The snake was safely rescued and released.

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.
