Trinket Snake Rescued From Motorcycle Headlight In Pimpri-Chinchwad's Dapodi
Somebody in a town in India found a snake hiding inside the headlight of a motorcycle.
The snake was very small and not dangerous.
A person whose job is to rescue snakes came to help.
He carefully pulled the snake out of the bike's headlight.
A video of the rescue was shared online and many people watched it.
The snake is called a trinket snake.
Trinket snakes do not have venom, so they cannot poison people.
They like to eat rats and mice, which helps farmers and people living nearby.
After the rescue, the snake was taken back to nature and set free.
Experts say if you see one, you should call someone who knows how to handle snakes.
A non-venomous trinket snake was found hiding inside the headlight compartment of a two-wheeler in Dapodi, Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Snake rescuer Jayvardhan Kamble, associated with the Wildlife and Bird Protection Social Organisation, safely removed the snake and released it into its natural habitat.
A video showing the snake emerging from the motorcycle headlight before being caught went viral on social media.
The snake was identified as a trinket snake (Coelognathus helena), a non-venomous species commonly found across India, including Maharashtra.
Wildlife experts say the species helps control rodent populations and advise residents to contact trained rescuers or the local forest department instead of harming it.
