Krishanakri (Tamil Nadu), Dec 12: Forest Officials in Tamil Nadu are rescuing rock pythons from residential areas and sending them back to their natural habitat.

Krishanakri, 500 km away from Chennai, is among several places in the country, where snake hunting has been banned.

In spite of the ban, snake hunting continues with people clandestinely selling their skins.

"We are catching the pythons because earlier people used to catch them and sell their skin openly. Now that we have banned snake hunting to protect the species, the people bring the snakes to residential areas and smuggle their skin into the market, " said Subramanian, a Forest Ranger, Krishanakri.
