Rescuers caught a snake in an apartment in Moscow

The snake was captured in an apartment in Moscow. This was reported on Tuesday, April 8, in the Telegram channel of the Moscow Department of Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Fire Safety.

The incident occurred earlier in the day. A frightened woman called 112 Service and told them that there was a meter-long black-and-white snake in her apartment, writes RIAMO. Rescuers arrived at the scene. Trapping the snake made repairs in the apartment more difficult, but the reptile was still found between packages of ceramic tiles and placed in a plastic container, the website reports. kp.ru .

The ministry recalled that one of the most common reasons for snakes to "escape" from terrariums is unfavorable climatic conditions, Moscow 24 reports. All breeders of exotic pets were called upon to be extremely attentive and provide the reptiles with comfortable living conditions. Terrariums should also be tightly closed, according to the Moscow City News agency.

At the end of March, rescuers from the Moscow region reminded about safety measures when encountering a snake. In particular, when encountering a snake, it is important to keep a distance, not to make sudden movements and not to provoke it, notes 360.ru .

On April 3, Denis Kovalev, senior lecturer at the Department of Life Safety at the State University of Education, told Izvestia how to protect yourself from bites and what to do in an emergency. According to him, when encountering a snake, you should not touch it, even if it seems dead, as a reflex bite is possible.
