This Viper was rescued last week from my cousin's farm in Belgaum. Fortunately the snake rescuer Ganesh was close-by to the farm and did the job successfully.

Thanks Akshay, this Viper was rescued at about 4pm, normally Ganesh the snake rescuer leaves the snakes either in Jamboti forest or forest closer to Kanapur. These places are about 25 kms from Belgaum.

Good to know that it was rescued and released in the wild. The eye contact is nice. Thinking you could had moved the camera a bit more to the left to have more of the snake in the frame. Thanks for sharing.

Mrudul we all are aware that this snake is highly venomous, but its hissing sound is very scary. while Ganesh was trying to catch the snake the hissing made us so nervous that I didn't think of any angle or setting..
