With the onset of the rainy season, the problem of snakes has become extremely severe in many places. People are using various techniques to chase away poisonous snakes. Along with this, people also save the phone numbers of nearby forest officials and snake catchers on their phones. This is to use in times of emergency. Today, many scenes of catching snakes can be seen on social media.

Highly poisonous snakes like king cobra, cobra, and viper can be seen actively in our country. But what is currently circulating on social media is a video of a person catching a snake very easily without the help of any safety equipment. It is not even a small snake. The video shows a man catching a cobra, which is highly fatal if bitten.

Looking at the background of the footage, it is believed that the incident took place in Kerala. A cobra is seen on the roadside in a fierce pose with its hood spread. The video shows a man catching a fairly large cobra with his bare hands and putting it in a bottle he was carrying. After distracting the snake with one hand, the man uses his other hand to grab the snake's hood and then puts the snake in the bottle.

Many people have commented on the video of the snake being caught on Instagram. Comments such as "It's a snake!!!, Learn to respect it," and "What is this? A mobile charger?" can be seen below the video.
