Bringing people together to improve communication of research findings
Snakes are beautiful !
I recently visited my native place -a nondescript place in rural eastern UTTAR PRDESH ,India .One day there was a lot of noise,hustle bustle outside my home and when I inquired I found some people were busy in fishing out a snake from its burrow. I have been reading 'Snakes Of India' by P J Deoras ,late herpetologist from India.SO I got genuinely interested in identification of the snake.And the poor fellow came out to be a non poison Wolf snake but even then the villagers were adamant to kill the same as they misidentified it as Krait -the deadliest one in the area.Somehow I PREVENTED THE MOB TO NOT KILL THE SNAKE AND RELEASED IT LATER AWAY FROM HUMAN INHABITATION.
But before the noble job of saving a hapless creature i did not forget to take photograph of the poor creature.
It really look so cute ---herpetologists say it could even be made a pet.
Is there someone who could take the task of educating rural India about the real identification of at least
