It is said that if a snake is agile then it should be assumed that there is more poison inside it. Venomous snakes can run very fast. These snakes suddenly disappear from sight after biting. That’s why it is difficult to catch them. In India, these snakes are easily found in rural areas. Many times their children come out of their homes. Although their bite can cause death of a person within 5 minutes, but sometimes their poison spreads in the body in such a way that bleeding starts from every part of the patient’s body. Snake experts keep them in a separate category.

Which snakes are these?

These include cobra, krait, Russell’s viper, saw scaled viper and humped nose viper.
