ALAPPUZHA: A huge cobra was found under the stairs of a house in Thamarakulam. The incident happened at Valsala's house Aryalayam in Kottakattusheri. When the family came to check why their pet cat was meowing while standing at the bottom of the stairs at around 4 pm, they saw the snake spreading its hood and hissing. The cobra was about seven-feet long.

They informed the Forest department and snake catcher Chavara Binu immediately reached the spot. He caught the snake in a sack and then released it in the Kollam Forest Division area. Normally, cobras are around three and a half to five feet long. But the huge cobra caught from Thamarakulam was about seven feet long, which is very rare. The snake was found around 6 pm, after searching for an hour.
