The banded krait snake signifies both beauty and danger found in the wild.
In the viral video uploaded on X the forest officer ‘@ParveenKaswan’ has captioned it as ” Those beautiful bands. Banded krait is highly venomous snake found in India. Found this randomly during night patrolling. How nature provided them so distinct bands !!”
The video has received huge number of views and many comments.
One user ‘@PriyankaJShukla’ says ” Aposematism at its finest-visibility as survival. Probably those stripes are nature’s way of saying – admire responsibly.. :) ”
Another user ‘@ICONSIndiaIN’ says “Most people don’t realize these guys are actually snake eaters (Ophiophagus). They specialize in hunting other snakes even vipers. That high-contrast yellow & black is a nature’s way of putting up Caution Tape so predators don’t make a fatal mistake. The craziest thing about Banded Kraits is how shy they are. Despite being highly venomous, they are super reluctant to bite. When threatened, they usually just hide their head under their body coils (like an ostrich) rather than striking. Still, definitely an admire from a distance beauty!.”
Another user ‘@vijeshetty’ on X says “Even our roads, dividers don’t have this level of elegant bands.”
