Meritorious deed to be appreciated in saving the reptile. But don't extend the same compassion on two legged cobras. via DM iPad app

Well done. But, first thing I noticed was that none of them are wearing any hand-gloves or face-masks, etc. It's important to prevent the snake's body as well as human bodies from any germs.
