“Pythons generally inhabit areas close to water bodies,” he said. “People should maintain a safe distance and immediately contact trained snake rescuers or the forest department,” they said. As per Kalane, snake sightings generally decline during Nov. “However, water scarcity this year is affecting the natural habitats of reptiles too. Snakes and other reptiles are increasingly compelled to move closer to villages and urban settlements for water, cooler surroundings and shelter,” he claimed.
