Udaipur, June 12 -- A total of 23 highly venomous Russell's Vipers, including 22 newborn snakes and their mother, were rescued from a tube well chamber at a house in Dhikli village, officials said. The rescue was carried out by Dr. Chaman Singh Chauhan, divisional president of the Wild Animal Rescue Centre and a world record holder in snake rescues, along with team member Lakshmilal Gameti. According to Dr. Chauhan, the team received information about a snake sighting inside a tube well chamber located on the residential premises. However, what initially appeared to be a routine rescue soon turned into an extraordinary operation. "When we began the rescue, more snakes kept emerging from the chamber. On careful inspection, we discovered an entire family of Russell's vipers - 22 newborns along with their mother," Dr. Chauhan said. The rescue team safely captured all 23 snakes on Wednesday and later released them into a suitable natural habitat away from human settlements. Dr. Chauhan said the discovery was unusual because finding such a large number of newborn Russell's vipers together with their mother is rare. He explained that unlike many snake species, Russell's vipers do not lay eggs but give birth...
