Khargon. About 400 species of snakes are found in India and about 46 species of snakes are found in Madhya Pradesh alone. Among these, the four most poisonous snakes are 1. Indian Cobra, 2. Common Krait, 3. Russell’s Viper and 4. Saw Scaled Viper, which are found in human habitations and whose bite kills a person within a few moments. But, there is also a snake which does not have poison, but because of its length, it can easily kill any person. Khargone’s snake expert Mahadev Patel has shared detailed information about this snake.
Snack Man Mahadev Singh Patel, resident of Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, told Local 18 that whenever it comes to the biggest snakes, the name of python is at the top. The length of this snake at the time of birth is 12 to 15 inches. When the python becomes an adult, it becomes 20 to 25 feet long, which is capable of easily swallowing 3 humans simultaneously.
Python lives for 40 years
Snack Man told that, Ajgar which is also known as Python in English. It is considered to be the longest snake of India. Its maximum length is up to 25 feet and this snake can live for 40 years. The muscles of a python are so strong that it can crush any human being in a pinch. Here an adult snake can swallow three humans together. Not only this, it is capable of swallowing even big animals like crocodiles.
Will take life like this without poison
Mahadev said that the python does not have poison, but its grip is so strong that it clings to a human being and takes his life. So don’t try to catch it. Because even a six feet long python has so much strength that if it clings to a hand, it can break the hand. If by clinging to a person he can twist his entire body. Due to which the person loses his life.
Know the preventive measures
However, according to experts, scenes of swallowing humans are mostly seen in films only. In reality, there is a chance of this happening in 10 percent cases. But even if a human being is swallowed by a python, he can be rescued within a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. But, this is possible only if the person is able to hold his breath while in the python’s stomach until he is rescued. Generally, it is difficult for a normal person to hold his breath in the python’s stomach for so long.
