Rat snake rescued from NCERT campus
A five foot long rat snake was rescued from the campus of the National Council of Educational Research and Training NCERT here, a wildlife conservation NGO said on Wednesday
New Delhi: A five-foot-long rat snake was rescued from the campus of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) here, a wildlife conservation NGO said on Wednesday.
The Indian Rat Snake, commonly known as 'Dhaman', is a non-venomous species which is harmless for humans but are often misidentified as cobras due to their resemblance to the highly venomous snakes.
The snake is currently under observation and once deemed fit, it will be released back into its natural habitat, the Wildlife SOS said.
The NGO said a two-member team was dispatched to carry out the rescue operation on Tuesday afternoon after they were informed that a snake was spotted on a tree inside the NCERT campus.
The team carefully moved the snake from the tree to a safe transport carrier, it said.
"Very few snake species in Delhi are actually venomous and even these snakes will not attack until provoked or threatened.
