It began with an urgent call—a rat snake had entered a storeroom and was injured. Without wasting time, we grabbed our gear and rushed to the location. The storeroom was a cluttered maze of boxes, crates, and bags, making the search difficult. We moved quickly but carefully, checking every shadow and corner.
After what felt like hours, we finally spotted it. The rat snake was coiled in a dark corner, and immediately we saw the blood. The snake had a deep wound and was bleeding. Our hearts raced as we realized the gravity of the situation. We needed to act fast, but also gently. Slowly, we captured the snake, making sure not to worsen its injury. Once secured in a bag, we headed straight to the vet.
At the clinic, the vet quickly inspected the snake. The news was serious—the wound needed stitches. The procedure began, and we stood by, anxiously watching as the vet worked with precision. Stitch by stitch, the snake’s wound was carefully closed. After what seemed like forever, the bleeding stopped, and the snake received the necessary treatment.
With the procedure complete, it was time for the final step—releasing the snake back into the wild. We transported it to a safe area, away from people, where it could heal and return to its natural life. As we opened the bag, the snake hesitated for a brief moment, then slithered off into the underbrush, disappearing into the wilderness.
Relief washed over us. We had saved a life and returned it to the wild, knowing it was where the snake truly belonged.#snake #naturelovers #snakerescue #animalrescue #animalrights #karnataka #python #udupi #animalrescue #best #naturelovers #best #rat #ratsnake #best #tiktok #best #animalrescue #best
