Summary:
more-inA 4-foot-long juvenile Indian rock python was rescued by Wildlife SOS after it was found under a car inside a residential colony in Tughlakabad Extension early on Thursday. Discovery of the python under the car led to panic among residents of the colony. Car owner Anshul Aggarwal came across the NGO’s 24-hour rescue helpline (9871963535) while looking for help online and immediately contacted Wildlife SOS. The black-headed royal snake (Spalerosophis atriceps), also known as a diadem snake, is not lethal to humans and can be easily identified by the distinct black colouring on its head and the dark speckles on its body. When under threat and in stressful situations, they coil up and hiss loudly but rarely bite in retaliation..
