In India, there are around 300 snake types discovered throughout the various environments in the nation. About half of them are non-poisonous and the other half are venomous, with differing degrees of strength. In the video at the bottom of the page, the climber is a non-venomous rat snake.

What Do Rat Snakes Eat?

You can most likely think what rat snakes consume based upon their name, however rats aren’t their only food source. They likewise consume mice and bigger rodents like squirrels. They don’t stop there, nevertheless. They likewise nab up birds, bird eggs, lizards, and little frogs. They’re non-venomous and rather restrict their victim to eliminate it prior to consuming it.

Surprisingly, rat snakes are experienced climbers. They don’t have feet or perhaps sticky pads throughout their bodies, however they are still able to enter trees and up walls. They utilize their tubular bodies to twist and bend as required and utilize their flaky stubborn bellies to discover anchor points as they make their method up greater. These undulating motions help them increase and their forward scales help them grip. It’s a lot easier when they have a number of points up a wall where they can hang on and ascend (or descend) even more.

Rat Snake Scales Down Building in India

When the video listed below starts, the cameraman points up to the top of a high white building. There are some terraces on the ideal side and left wing, there are some windows. There are pipelines running vertically on the side he’s recording and you can hear a number of birds screaming. A number of them are standing simply outside among the windows, utilizing the pipelines as perches.

The birds are distressed, most likely due to the fact that the rat snake has actually discovered their nest and eggs. Suddenly, you see it appear from the window. The pipelines are a couple of feet from the window so it keeps a grip on the window’s ledge as it clinches the pipelines to begin its descent. It moves rapidly and masterfully, already unwinding the pipelines while its tail is still partly in the window.

It swirls around the pipelines to keep a grip and keeps making its method down. There is a kid in the background, revealing both enjoyment and worry. At one point the kid says, “it’s a black mamba!” and insists he’s right, despite the fact that there are no black mambas in India. The snake continues making its method down thoroughly, glimpsing into another window on its method. The video ends simply as the snake reaches the ground flooring.
