The snake was found in hiding in a plywood shop’s shutter and when Friends of Snake Society rescuers caught it and shifted it to the Sanikpuri rescue centre.

It can also be found in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal to whole of North-east states. In east India it’s more common than South India.
