BEWARE! Forest Officer Warns People With This Humorous Post Where “Cobra Is Trying A New Footwear”

Snakes are cunning animals that can slither into even the most difficult spaces. Currently, a terrifying video of a little cobra snake holed up inside a shoe has gone popular online. A baby cobra is seen in the video footage, which was posted on X, looking for safety in a woman’s shoe. In the video, the cobra can be seen hissing, raising its hood from the shoe, and even lunging at the person taking the footage.

Here’s the video

Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Susanta Nanda shared the short clip on X. ”Cobra trying a new footwear. Jokes apart, as the monsoon is coming to a close, please be extra careful,” he wrote while sharing the video.

Netizens’ reaction on Snake in shoe

One user wrote, ”That’s a shock! Clothes and umbrellas need to be checked in a similar fashion. On a related note… I Had the fortune to rescue and release a similar-sized cobra last year who had lost its way in our apartment complex. Luckily GKVK university campus nearby, it found a home.”

Another commented, ”Good post. Monsoons, extreme winters, and summers make them wriggle out of their comfort homes. The skin burns in summer and in winter they wish to have a sun bath.”

A third added, ”We were always taught to turn our boots upside down before wearing them for good reason, from scorpions to snakes…u never know.”

Even helmets are not safe

Even though the incidence may have many people alarmed, it has happened before. A man in Kerala just nearly escaped being bitten by a poisonous snake when he discovered a little cobra inside his two-wheeler helmet. Sojan, a Thrissur native, had set his helmet down on the platform next to his scooter when it was parked at work. Later that night, as he was getting ready to go and get his car, he saw something coming into his helmet.

As soon as he informed the forest department about the snake’s presence, volunteer Lijo the snake showed up. During the rainy season, it is always advisable to exercise caution while handling items or regions that conceal chilly, dark areas, such as shoes, toilets, and even kitchen cupboards.
