The snake was carried away in a sack.
A snake catcher on Sunday rescued a 13-foot king cobra from a palm oil plantation in Andhra Pradesh. A farmer discovered the snake and immediately contacted the snake catcher Venkatesh, who saved the reptile.
According to a tweet by DD News Andhra, the snake had entered a farmer’s palm oil plantation near Ghat Road on Sunday. The news channel tweeted a picture of the snake catcher with the giant reptile.
A later tweet said that the farmer informed the snake catcher Venkatesh, who is a member of the Eastern Ghats Wildlife Society, over the phone. Soon Venkatesh reached the spot and caught the king cobra. Then, he put the snake in a sack and took the reptile away.

In a similar incident a few months ago A forest department official rescues a cobra in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram district, A rescue operation in a house by Officer Roshini GS was caught on camera. In the footage, the officer appears calm and collected as she captures the snake with a rescue hook and a bag. She begins by grabbing the snake by the tail. As the snake turns to face the officer, he waits a few moments before reversing the snake’s hood and placing it in front of a black bag. The snake entered the bag. Then she ties the bag and leaves.
In another incident last year, a man was seen using a new method to save a cobra hidden inside scooter, In one video, he is seen catching a snake from a large water container. Snake raises its hood in a defensive display while exiting the scooter. As soon as this snake strikes the catcher, it has to retreat rapidly to avoid being bitten. With the pot of water the man again goes to the snake. After several attempts, he finally manages to put the snake in the container. When the snake is completely inside, he closes it to prevent it from escaping.
