Spotting a snake randomly on the ground is enough to send shivers down the spine of many. However, a woman has left netizens shocked as she was seen nonchalantly lying after a snake climbed on her in a video. The reptile moved away after a while according to Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda’s tweet. In the video shared by Nanda, the woman is seen lying on a cot with the large snake on top of her. The snake remains there with its hood up while the woman is heard crying and a calf keeps watching. Nanda posed a question before netizens as he shared the video. “When this happens, what would be your reaction?? For information, the snake moved away after few minutes without causing any harm…(As received from a colleague),” read his tweet.

Some users said the video was from Karnataka’s Afzalpur panchayat and some others said she was chanting mantras. A user commented, “Exactly the same what she is doing praying to mallaih, nagaraj swamy.” Another user wrote, “I have heard such incidents from my grandmother. When houses had thatched roofs, firewood stores in corner snakes including Cobras moved around & left the place unharmed if not confronted or scared. They normally come looking for rats or frogs if in open.” A third user wrote, “Best reaction wud be ‘Not to react at all’.” Who ever it was, he wud'nt have done anything more. Becoz a little disturbance wud have put the womans life at risk. The best bet was only to lay still. 😃— Sonali Das (@SonaliD82403754) August 28, 2022 Best reaction wud be 'Not to react at all'.— Sonali Das (@SonaliD82403754) August 28, 2022 I have heard such incidents from my grandmother.

I think they will not attack unless they sense a hostile attitude so if possible human should quietly move away or keep still. But I will let some expert suggest on this— Arvind Jain (@ArvindJain_in) August 29, 2022 Yes it's happened in Karnataka afzalpur taluku— naveen sundarkar (@NaveenSundarkar) August 28, 2022 Exactly the same what she is doing praying to mallaih, nagaraj swamy.— ನಿಲಾಂಜನ್ ನಿಶಾಂತ್🇮🇳🚩 (@shanth_kumar9) August 28, 2022 Videos showing encounters with snakes often go viral on social media. Recently, a clip showing a woman saving her son from the reptile’s attack in a nick of time took the internet by storm. The video was from Karnataka’s Mandya and the mother-son duo was stepping out of their house when the snake slithered through the front steps.
