Snakes in Kerala ( India )


Photograph taken from a Bush Forest near by my House ( Valillapuzha ,Areekode , Malappuram )

All the major  species of snakes found in India are also found in Kerala. The five common poisonous snakes found in Kerala are Indian Cobra, King Cobra, Russel’s Viper, Saw-scaled viper and Krait. Out of these, Indian Cobra, Russel’s Viper, Saw-scaled viper and Krait are the most dangerous since King Cobra usually habit in dense forests and hence rarely comes in contact with humans.
