Enter ATM to remove cash, get greeted by snake

A screengrab of the viral video shows the snake catcher trying to get hold of the snake

During the third phase of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, voters at the polling booth in the Kannur Lok Sabha constituency were in for a surprise when an unusual "visitor" - a small snake was found inside a VVPAT machine.

While the snake was removed quickly and voting resumed once again, a new video that has gone viral on social media shows a snake taking refuge inside an ATM kiosk in order to save itself from the sweltering heat outside.

In the video that has gone viral on the internet, a snake-catcher is seen rescuing the reptile from the cabinet which is adjacent to the ATM machine located on Thaneerpandal Road in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The video shows the snake-catcher kneeling down to get a grip on the slithery animal in order to remove it from the ATM kiosk. However, after the catcher successfully removed the snake from his hiding place, the reptile gets into a fit of rage. The snake isn't happy to come out of his place of refuge and is seen making several efforts to attack the snake-catcher.

People took to Twitter to express their views. One user wrote, "That is a great job done by that guy." While another user wrote, "Snake dispensing machine."

A long and venomous Indian Spectacled Cobra over 1.5 feet was rescued from the kitchen of the flat all thanks to the effort by NGO RAWW that has been rescuing birds, reptiles and wild animals in the eastern suburbs.
