In Rajasthan’s Kota, man finds five-foot-long king cobra in washing machine at home

In Rajasthan, a five-foot-long snake was discovered in a washing machine

A baffling incident came to light when a Rajasthan family discovered a deadly king cobra inside thewashing machine at their residence. The five-foot reptile was present quietly in the drum, and the video of it is going viral. The incident occurred at Shambhdayal’s home in Swami Vivekanand Nagar in Kota.

Shambhdayal noticed the deadly snake when he was about to do his laundry. As we can all observe, the reptile is already in defensive mode; its posture suggests that it is ready to attack the resident. To save himself, Shambhdayal backed off and called a local snake catcher.

Fortunately, the snake caused no harm and was rescued safely. The snake catcher took it and set it freeinthe wild, where no one could get hurt. "The snake, which measured over 5 feet in length, was carefully extracted from the washing machine. After rescuing the cobra, I released it into the Ladpura forest, far from the residential area,” said the snake catcher.

It is not uncommon for snakes to take shelter in residential areas in the hunt for prey as their natural habitat gets waterlogged. It is not surprising to see snakes in homes, shops, and hospitals, the snake catcher explained.

“The presence of snakes in homes, shops, and even hospitals has become increasingly common in Kota,” the snake catcher added.

It was also reported that a biker unknowingly harbored a snake. The snake was discovered when the biker was on the road and driving. As soon as he became aware of the snake's presence, he quickly abandoned his motorcycle and called for help immediately.
