A giant Indian Rock Python lurks in the darkness of a house in India, spreading panic among the village residents.

A man named Amit Sadke rescues it with bare hands, while the snake tries to curl up to free itself out of fear.

The organisation Spreading Awareness on Reptiles and Rehabilitation Programme (SARRP) coordinates these animals' rescue operations in collaboration with the Maharashtra Forest Department. The team makes sure that the snakes are then released into their natural habitat.

Reptiles usually seek shelter in residential areas when monsoons hit the country.

The clip was filmed in the city of Mumbai, on July 22.

Panic ensued among residents upon spotting a giant reptile lurking in the darkness of the house in western India's Maharashtra on July 22. The incident took place in Kandivali East in Mumbai.

Visuals feature the Indian rock python slithering in the corner wall of the kitchen. The rescuer named Amit Sadke further grabs the serpent by its tail from its hiding place with bare hands and brings it out in the open while it tries to curl up to free itself out of fear.

SARRP-INDIA has always been on the front foot when it came to rescuing these creatures from the suburban areas. It coordinates with the Maharashtra Forest Department to safely rescue and release these reptiles in their natural habitat. Moreover, with the arrival of the monsoon, these snakes have started to approach the residential areas to seek shelter.
