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.

Delhi CM Atishi breaks down over BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks targeting her
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Monday broke down while addressing a press conference here over BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks against her.
BJP's Kalkaji candidate Bidhuri on Sunday courted controversy for his remarks on Atishi's surname. Responding to Bidhuri's charge, Atishi said, "How can our politics downgrade so much? He should show what work he has done for Kalkaji when he was MP for 10 years."
He should ask for votes based on his work, not by abusing my father, she added. Speaking at BJP's 'Parivartan Rally' in Rohini that was later addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bidhuri said Atishi changed her surname from "Marlena" to "Singh".
Atishi, who is the sitting MLA from the Kalkaji Assembly seat, dropped her surname a while back. "This Marlena (surname used earlier by Atishi) became Singh and changed her name. Kejriwal swore over his children not to go with the corrupt Congress; Marlena changed fathers. Earlier she was Marlena; now she has become Singh. This is their character," Bidhuri charged.
