Get ready to share your sidewalks with some slithering new neighbours, Bengaluru! The city's wildlife wing at BBMP is urging residents to be on the lookout for an influx of baby snakes, particularly cobras, as hatching season kicks off at the end of May. But don't let the thought send shivers down your spine! BBMP assures residents that spotting these hatchlings is normal and offers helpful advice on how to coexist with these new arrivals safely.


Bengaluru city's wildlife wing at BBMP is urging residents to be on the lookout for an influx of slithering friends – baby snakes! With hatching season kicking off at the end of May, these new arrivals, particularly cobras, might be spotted in unexpected places.

But there's no need to panic!


BBMP assures residents that spotting these hatchlings is normal. March and April are prime breeding seasons for snakes, especially cobras, and by May's end, those eggs start cracking.


The hatching bonanza continues through July, with the rising summer heat and rain further encouraging the young snakes to venture out.


Prasanna Kumar, a BBMP-affiliated wildlife rescuer, shared that the department is already receiving over 100 daily calls for snake rescues, and this number is expected to skyrocket by the end of the month. The key message? Stay calm!


If you see a snake, resist the urge to harm it. Instead, call the BBMP helpline at 9902794711.


A dedicated team will humanely capture the snake and release it back into a safe habitat.

So, Bengaluru residents, keep your eyes peeled and remember – these hatchlings are just starting their lives. Let's help them slither safely into the future by giving them a call instead of a scare!
