West Champaran. The name of Common Krait is also included in the list of four most poisonous snakes of India. Neurotoxin poison is found in this snake, which is considered synonymous with death, which starts badly damaging the nervous system of the victim as soon as it gets mixed in the blood. According to experts, as much as this snake is infamous for its deadly poison, it is even more infamous for biting people while they are sleeping. Yes! It may sound a bit strange, but this is absolutely true.
One of the four most poisonous snakes of India
Expert Swapnil Khatal, who has been working on wildlife for the last 22 years, says that the Common Krait, included in the list of Big Four snakes of India, is very infamous for biting people while they sleep. The most scary thing is that even after being bitten by it, people do not realize that they have been bitten by a snake. In such a situation, due to lack of timely treatment, death becomes certain.
are active in the dark of night
According to experts, snakes are cold blooded, due to which they have to be in search of a warm place all the time. As far as the Common Krait is concerned, it is a nocturnal snake, which prefers to be active and search for prey in the dark of night rather than during the day. The thing to note is that these snakes mainly like to eat lizards, frogs and rats as food, in search of which they come to homes.
are attracted to warmth
After entering the houses, they do not get nervous because the atmosphere is calm at night. As a result, they easily crawl into the house and reach the bed. Feeling the warmth of the human body on the bed, they move towards them. Therefore, as soon as they come in contact with humans, they immediately attack in self-defense. The scary thing is that their teeth are very small and thin like needles. In such a situation, whenever they bite, humans do not even realize it and due to lack of timely treatment, they die in their sleep.
