Two young snakes rescued at Prez Estate: Wildlife NGO

Two non-venomous young snakes have been rescued at the President's Estate in the last two weeks, a wildlife NGO today said.

City-based Wildlife SOS said, the house-keeping staff had found a "juvenile wolf snake inside a rest room" two days ago.

A week before, another reptile of the same species was found in the sprawling lawns of the Estate and rescued, an official of the NGO said.

Both the snakes were juvenile, i.e., aged a little above six months.

"The snakes were found to be in good health and have been released back into the wild," the official said.

Kartick Satyanarayan, Wildlife SOS co-founder and CEO said, "Wolf-snakes are non-venomous, but are often mistaken for the highly venomous common krait which it closely resembles."
