New Delhi, April 25: A five-feet-long snake was rescued on Wednesday from the Delhi Assembly complex here by an animal welfare NGO.
The snake, which was identified as a non-venomous Royal Snake, was found taking refuge in an air cooler installed in the library block on the premises, following which it was rescued by Wildlife SOS.
The team said several snakes had been rescued from the Vidhan Sabha complex in the past, though this was the second case of rescue of a Royal Snake.
"Several snakes have been rescued from the premises since it is located very close to Kamla Nehru Ridge, which is home to a variety of wildlife," said Wildlife SOS Special Projects Manager Wasim Akram.
Protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, Royal snakes are excellent climbers and are found on trees, low bushes and hiding in crevices.
Delhi is home to 13 species of snake, of which only two -- common krait and common cobra -- are venomous.
