Snake rescue calls surge in Hyderabad; extended snake activity due to delayed monsoon potential reason for rise

In Hyderabad, there has been a significant rise in snake rescue calls attributed to extended snake activity, which is linked to the delayed onset of the monsoon. The early monsoon humidity typically encourages snake activity and the emergence of hatchlings, while continuous rainfall tends to reduce sightings. This surge in snake encounters highlights the importance of wildlife awareness and safety measures in urban areas, particularly during changing weather patterns.
