A roughly 8‑foot snake was found hidden behind a gas cylinder in a kitchen in the Rasulla area of Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. The discovery prompted the household to move outside while a local snake‑catcher secured the reptile for release.
Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh reported a startling wildlife encounter on Tuesday when a resident noticed a large snake coiled behind a gas cylinder in her kitchen. The reptile measured about eight feet in length, prompting immediate alarm among the family members.
The woman’s quick reaction led the entire household to step outside the house as a precaution. Local snake‑catcher Babul Pawar was called to the scene. He arrived with his equipment, safely restrained the snake, and prepared it for transport.
Pawar confirmed that the snake was healthy and posed no immediate threat once handled. He intends to release the animal in a nearby forest area, following standard protocols for wildlife relocation. Authorities were informed, and no injuries were reported.
The incident highlights the importance of vigilance in rural homes where wildlife can occasionally enter domestic spaces, especially in regions bordering forested zones.
Residents were advised to keep gas cylinders and other storage items away from potential entry points to reduce the risk of similar encounters in the future.
