Mysore: A rare snake made its appearance on the grill of the door of a house at Mysore's Ramanuja road on Saturday.
On seeing the snake, the family members called a snake rescuer, but the snake disappeared before the snake rescuer could rescue it.
The snake rescuer said that though he could see the snake he was unable to reach the spot and the snake escaped before his eyes.
An Ornate Flying Snake (Chrysopelea ornata) is usually found in the Western Ghats, Bihar, Odisha, WB, UP, Northeast India and South East Asia.
It is capable of gliding in the air by flattening their body. They appear to exhibit this behaviour to avoid predators.
