Bhopal, Aug. 4 : A school in Bhopal recently organised a daylong snake exhibition to spread general awareness about serpents besides encouraging a friendly relation between human beings and the reptiles.

Organised by Bhopal Academy School last week, the snake exhibition was an attempt to obliterate fear of snakes from students’ minds. 

Students enjoyed watching the snakes’ specimen and the live snakes, which were put on display during the exhibition held in the school compound.

The exhibition tried to negate popular myths about snakes. Many students after attending the exhibition claimed that having learnt about the snakes, they were no more afraid of the reptiles.
