A woman in Madhya Pradesh’s Morena district has become a local hero after she single-handedly killed a six-foot-long Indian rat snake that she found inside the new mattress that she had bought just a few days ago.
According to a report in Times of India, Pinky Kushwaha, a resident of Jaura town in Morena district, purchased a new mattress on July 12. On the night of July 14, when she was about to sleep on the new mattress, she felt something moving inside it.
Initially, she thought that it was just her imagination, but when she felt the movement again, she got up and switched on the lights.
To her horror, she saw a huge snake coiled inside the mattress. She immediately raised an alarm, and her husband and other family members rushed to the room.
The family members tried to kill the snake with a stick, but it managed to escape and slithered under the bed. Pinky, however, armed herself with a broom and started searching for the snake.
After a few minutes of searching, she found the snake hiding under the bed. She immediately attacked the snake with the broom and killed it with her bare hands.
The family members were shocked and relieved at the same time. They praised Pinky for her bravery and quick thinking.
The incident has become a talking point in the town, and Pinky has become a local hero. She has been praised for her courage and for preventing a potentially dangerous situation.
Indian rat snakes are non-venomous, but they can be aggressive if they feel threatened. They are often found in homes, and they can sometimes be mistaken for venomous snakes. It is important to be aware of the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes, and to take precautions to avoid being bitten.
If you see a snake in your home, it is important to stay calm and call for help. Do not try to handle the snake yourself, as you could be bitten. A professional snake catcher will be able to safely remove the snake from your home..
