Man Mistakes Cobra For Cloth; Closely Escapes Snakebite

A technician narrowly escaped being bitten by a baby cobra after mistaking the reptile for a piece of cloth inside a washing machine in Kerala’s Kannur district. The shocking encounter occurred at the residence of PV Babu in Taliparamba.

Janardhanan Kadamberi, the technician, arrived at Babu’s home to repair a malfunctioning washing machine. After completing the initial repairs, Kadamberi switched the machine on to test if it was working properly. As he peered inside, he noticed something unusual and, believing it to be a piece of cloth, reached in. To his horror, he realized it was a snake and quickly withdrew his hand and immediately informed the house owner, Babu.

Babu said,”We have no idea how a snake entered it. We are still clueless,” as he mentioned that the machine had not been working for the past two weeks and the lid was kept closed.

Upon being alerted, Babu contacted an animal rescue team. Anil Trichambaram, a rescuer from the Forest and MARC (Malabar Awareness and Rescue Center For Wildlife), promptly arrived at the scene. Trichambaram carefully captured the baby cobra and subsequently released it into a nearby forest, ensuring the safety of both the reptile and the residents.
