Nagpur: A routine Sunday morning turned unusual for Ramesh Vazalwar when he spotted a snake peeking out from the bonnet of his car around 10:30 am. Without taking any risks, he immediately contacted local ‘Sarpmitra’ (snake rescuer) Harshal Shende for help.
Responding swiftly, Shende reached the spot and assessed the situation. On opening the bonnet, he discovered a baby python curled up inside. Exercising caution, he safely captured the reptile and later released it into a forested area, ensuring it could thrive in its natural habitat.
“This species is non-venomous, but its sudden appearance can easily cause panic,” Shende explained. He urged residents to avoid taking matters into their own hands and to always seek assistance from trained snake rescuers in such situations.
