The heavy rain lashing across the State for the past few days may invite some unwelcome guests, snakes, to your homes.
With their hiding places and natural habitats being flooded, there is the high possibility of snakes, lizards, centipedes, and amphibians moving to safety, especially the warm and dry places. The chances of encountering these reptiles at the peripheral areas of the houses like verandahs, car porches, and abandoned structures, and also in shoe racks are high these days, said Sandeep Das, a herpetologist.
