The incident took place Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, on the morning of February 24.

Rakesh Thakur, a scientist, had returned home after attending a night-long wedding ceremony.

Tired and sleepy, he got ready to go to sleep at 6.05 am and took off his shirt.

As he reached for the hanger, he spotted a 2.5 feet-long snake sleeping on the stand.

He rushed out of the room raising an alarm and his friends, who shared the house with him, made a call to Snake Helpline, an animal rescue organisation.
A team of volunteers led by Subhendu Mallik reached the spot in 30 minutes and managed to pluck the snake out of its perch.

The snake was found to be a non-venomous Checkered Keel Back snake.

But it was quite aggressive and reluctant to give up its cosy spot. There were a few anxious moments when the snake bit into Subhendu's denim pant. It was deftly disentangled and later released in its natural habitat.

Checkered Keel Backs live close to humans and the snake had entered the room through the window which was left open.
