The video shows two deadly snakes fighting under the bed as the family members record the moment on camera.
A normal night turned out nightmarish for an Indian family after they encountered not one but two venomous snakes in the bedroom of their village home. Caught on camera, the video was shared on the X by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, showing how the reptiles engaged in a fierce duel on the bedroom floor. Kaswan shared that his team received an SOS call in the middle of the night about two ‘Wall’s Kraits’ inside the family’s house, following which the snakes were rescued and released into the wild.
“So one of our beat staff got an SOS call in the middle of night yesterday from a village. Imagine these highly venomous ‘Walls Krait’ doing duel in somebody’s bedroom. They were rescued & released safely later,” he wrote in the caption.

As the video plays, one of the family members could be seen recording the snakes from a distance with the phone’s flash directed towards the bedroom. The reptiles continued to twist and dance under the bed, while the family remained outside the house in fear.
Reacting to the video, social media lauded the team for their timely response. A section of users even suggested that the reptiles might have been mating. A user wrote, “Nice and wishes to the team, really a timely help saving all since they are very much part of our nature.”

A user appreciated that the family did not kill the snakes and reached out for help. “Scary indeed, they’re responsible for most snake bite deaths in India, scary but beautiful, happy that people call rescue instead of killing them like earlier,” the person noted.

Speaking of Wall’s Kraits or Bungarus walli, these species are found in both lowland, open tropical areas and even near residential areas. Venomous in nature, they often come in conflict with humans.
