11:15PM… A MASSIVE COBRA HIDING RIGHT BELOW THE SHOE STAND INSIDE THE HOUSE… 🐍😨

It was around 11:15PM when I received a panicked rescue call… “Anna please come fast! There’s a HUGE snake inside our house!” I immediately grabbed my rescue gear, picked up my friend on the way, and rushed to the location.

As soon as we entered the gate, three terrified men pointed straight at the shoe cabinet and said, “The snake is hiding right there!” I slowly bent down, slid my phone camera under the cabinet… and there it was… a BIG ADULT SPECTACLED COBRA tightly coiled in the darkness.🔥

The moment I tried pulling it out using the snake hook, the cobra started making loud defensive hissing sounds. Suddenly, it burst out from the gap and slithered directly towards me at full speed!⚠️ I immediately stepped back, controlled the situation, safely lifted it using the snake hook, and moved towards the rescue bag.

While observing the snake, the cobra suddenly p**ped out of fear, making everyone panic even more😅 So I explained to them that snakes often do this as a defense mechanism whenever they feel threatened or stressed.

What caught my attention the most was its BEAUTIFUL and UNIQUE spectacled hood marking on the back of its hood… absolutely stunning!😍 After safely bagging the cobra, I warned everyone to ALWAYS check their slippers, shoes, and footwear before wearing them, especially now because baby cobras and vipers are actively moving around and may hide inside unnoticed.

The rescue ended safely, and the cobra was later released back into a nearby suitable habitat far away from human disturbance.

SEASON’S FIRST BABY COBRA RESCUE…😍 AND IT WAS HIDING RIGHT BESIDE THE HOUSE GATE!🐍😳

I was heading out with my friend when I received an emergency call from a resident saying, “Anna, there’s a tiny snake near our gate…looks like a baby cobra!” The moment I heard that, I got insanely excited because this would be my FIRST EVER freshly hatched Spectacled Cobra rescue of this season!😍

The caller immediately shared the picture and location on WhatsApp. One look at the image and it was confirmed — a newly hatched Baby Spectacled Cobra. Without wasting a second, me and my friend rushed to the location.

As soon as we arrived, I noticed neighbours gathered outside, eagerly waiting to see the rescue. The caller was sitting on a bench near the entrance gate and pointed towards the tiny gap between the gate and the bench wall. And there it was… the freshly hatched cobra, perfectly still, head facing the wall, not even flicking its tongue once. It was trying to avoid detection — an inbuilt survival instinct already active from birth. Absolutely incredible to witness a newborn snake already knowing how to defend itself from threats.

I gently picked up the tiny cobra and placed it carefully on the bench platform. Within seconds, it became super active and started trying to escape from my grip. I immediately secured the baby cobra safely inside a chocolate jar for rescue.

I then warned everyone present that spotting one baby cobra could mean there are more hatchlings nearby, since newborns usually don’t travel far from the nesting area. I also advised them to keep footwear safely indoors because hatchlings can crawl into shoes, leading to dangerous accidents. Baby cobra bites are equally venomous and can be fatal.

After ensuring the area was safe, I left the location and released the baby spectacled cobra into a suitable natural habitat far away from human disturbance.🐍🌿
