    We are joining Surya Keerthi, a snake rescuer from India, Mysore and we go from one snake rescue call to another! From deadly venomous species, he mainly rescues Spectacled cobras (Naja naja) and Russell's vipers (Daboia russelii). We saw some of the biggest and most beautiful Spectacled cobras in India! Surya is mainly using plastic jars instead of snake bags and he will explain why at the end of the video. Snakes can hide everywhere, in a poor neighbourhood or in a classy big house!

    This is a fanboy moment for me! As a Mysorean myself i.e., being born and living in Mysore, Snake Shyam is a legend, a household name who has single handedly rescued and released well over 40,000 snakes and I vividly remember watching his Documentaries on Nat Geo when I was a kid... Surya, his son is also following the same path and I must say hes doing a great job despite facing so many hardships. No government support, people dont pay nothing. He has to work with his bare hands exposed, bottling venomous snakes is no joke and often times its a thankless job.
    Thanks to folks like you at Living Zoology, who are spreading awareness and educating people about Snakes from all over the world, people like Surya and many others get the exposure and hopefully this helps in making their lives better or at the least The Government or common people will come forward and help such rescuers and conservationists.

    All the snakes they captured were cobras except the Russell’s viper at 6:50. The snake catcher caught all the cobras with his bare hands but he used the snake hook for the viper. Just shows he’s very experienced since Russell’s vipers are aggressive and fast snakes and the venom can cause serious tissue damage or death even with antivenin treatment. You don’t take chances with a Russells’s viper no matter how experienced you are.

    He could use the pipe and bag for the rescue rather than bottling the snake. Bottling is riskier than keeping the bagged snakes, we can use a box to keep the bags when we are on two wheeler. Here in Kerala, Forest Department has created a team of licensed rescuers (Team SARPA) and issued guidelines for scientific method of snake rescue. We have to follow the guidelines and bottling the snakes is strictly prohibited.

      Surya has been doing it for years now and his father for decades. They get 10-15 calls a day and many of them are cobras. And unfortunately the government isn't providing them with any salary etc. They use plastic containers for a very short period of time from what I know and they also use wooden boxes as well. Bagging poisonous snakes and going around in a 2 wheeler attending so many calls in a day is impossible. That's why the use of plastic container.

    Okay, guys. A while ago you had some snake catcher running around in flip-flops catching mambas in woodpiles with rusty nails all over the place and now you got a snake catcher talking on a phone grabbing a cobra. Are you trying to give us heart attacks?? We have people in the US who literally cannot walk and look at a cell phone without killing themselves and this guy is catching cobras with one hand and using a cell phone with the other? I was half expecting him to pick up a cobra and just put the thing in his pocket and walk away like it was nothing new. He did have a great line about the calmer you are the calmer the snake will be. Truer words were never spoken. This guy is good. My guess is he broke his leg in a scooter accident. correct? Any way, I am just giving you a little sass about this catcher. I would have been a nervous wreck watching him rescue the snakes in person. Another great video from you both. The way the snakes behaved in this video, I am not sure that they are really the bigger threat to humans over the rats they are hunting. That one took the opportunity to run when no one was looking, like I would have in the same situation. I really enjoy your rescue videos, especially of the mambas and cobras. Oh, and maybe warn us when the catcher is going to be using a cell phone or wearing flip-flops when actually grabbing the "highly venomous and dangerous" snakes :P. That was my last bit of sass. Enjoy your summer and thank you for another great video. You two are doing great work educating us all.

    Great rescues and proof that none of those Cobras although caught and agitated showed no inclination to "bite or chase" people. The caught and handled Cobras merely wanted to get away. Sad part is that with all the rodents in close proximity to those people/villages/homes the snakes will always be there. So new/alternative methods to antivenin are needed in the more rural areas. Perhaps plants or human inoculation resistance based.

    • @LivingZoology

    That guy definitely knows what he does. Catching a Russel's viper with bare hands is out of this world. They can be quite nasty and biting unpredictably in every direction. And not only the snake can be nasty but the venom is nasty as well. Even when treated with anti-venin deaths are possible and happen. Although I was a "viper guy" when I kept and bred snakes but I never had the chance to work with a Daboia russelii.

    I'm a fan of living zoology and it's content....but sad to say this particular snake handler in the beginning has set a bad example of the way he caught the snakes, I agree he's experienced and judging based on the video it's unprofessional method of catching - bare hands, bottle, kids around, using a mobile while handling, lots of young people will watch and there's no turning back from the bite.... living zoology you need to check your content.. there's plenty I appreciate from your channel but not this.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  Рік тому +3

      Working with this rescuer was a big eye opener for us. At the beginning we thought only about how bad are his methods. We slowly realized that the world is not perfect and we tried to understand the conditions in which this guy works. We understood the usage of jars, because his dad was bitten by a cobra through the bag. It is tricky to travel with many snake bags on a scooter in India. He is still very young and learning, we had discussions about using tools etc. We cannot change some things and we are NOT SAYING anywhere in the video that this is the technique which we promote. At the end, this guy saved several thousands of snakes in his life, he is not hurting them and he deeply cares about these animals. Free handling cobras is quite common in India and it is difficult to just come and say stop doing it. Yes, he should be more focused, we agree. He tries to educate people on social media, sometimes he has another person with him to document the rescue, sometimes not. We decided that our work is to show the reality, even if it is different from what we think is correct. The content is still educative in a way that it shows how peaceful snakes are, how they just try to hide.

People die from krait bites because the bite is often not felt at all by the victim because they are very small in size and by the time the symptoms get noticed and recognized as a snake bite, it’s already too late.

    3 Russel's Viper: Unpredictable one of those that may lash out for no reason at all and armed with hemotoxic venom.
