A snake that was entangled in a net was rescued in southern India’s Andhra Pradesh on December 10. The rescue operation took place in Sector 5 of Visakhapatnam city.

Visuals show the snake rescuer sitting over a footrest before taking out his scissor for cutting the net in which the reptile is stuck.

Gradually he cuts down the net from the whole of his body except its mouth. Following this, the snake rescuer applies turmeric powder over the snake’s body to heal it from the wounds it suffered as a result of the entanglement. He then carefully moves his scissor around its head and is successful in removing the net over the snake’s mouth.

Finally, the rescuer shows off the poisonous snake and appeals locals to not harm the innocent and voiceless creatures.
