Snakes are amongst the most feared reptiles. Some of them, like the King Cobra’s are so venomous that the amount of neurotoxin they deliver in a single bite is enough to kill a few people. So, what would be your reaction if you encountered a reptile hiding inside your house or the place where you work? Probably, run away instantly and seek help ? But a woman has gained the attention of social media users for her snake-handling skills.
Shared on Instagram by shweta_wildliferescuer with the caption "Rat snake rescue" the video opens to show a large snake beeing rescued from what looks like a godown of a store. The woman, Shweta Sutar can be seen holding the reptile with its tale and carrying it away. Next, she gently guides the snake into a pipe-like structure and takes it away while people watching her look stunned.
Since being shared the video has amassed close to 20,000 like and tons of comments.

"Omg! How are you even holding that thing in your hand? My soul would have left my body. I wouldn't make it past just looking at that snake," wrote another user.
"I'd bolt from that place and never return. Kudos to your steel heart. Thanks for rescuing the snake and the people as well," commented a third.
