Living With
Snakes.
Identification, behaviour, safety, and what to actually do when a snake shows up. For apartment complexes, schools, and offices.
Bangalore has 30 snake species. Most residents never think about them. Until one shows up.
A cobra in the garden becomes a crisis. A rat snake in the drain becomes a neighbourhood emergency. Panic fills in everything knowledge doesn't.
This session gives your community what it actually needs: the ability to recognise what's there, understand why it's there, and make a clear-headed decision about what to do next.
"The snake isn't there because something went wrong. It's there because your green spaces, water features, and resident rodents make it a reasonable place to be."
