Student Rides Royal Enfield For Hours With Highly Venomous Russel Viper Snake Under Fuel Tank [Video]
We all can agree on one thing without any arguments: snakes are some of the most dangerous and frightening animals. Now imagine you are riding your motorcycle for a while, and suddenly, when you stop at a spot to just have a glance at your vehicle, you see a venomous snake underneath the fuel tank. You'll be scared to death, right? Well, as terrifying as it is to imagine, this is exactly what happened to a young student from Madhya Pradesh when he found an extremely dangerous snake under the fuel tank of his Royal Enfield motorcycle.
Venomous snake underneath Royal Enfield’s fuel tank
The video showing this venomous snake being retrieved from a Royal Enfield motorcycle has been shared on YouTube by Patrika Madhya Pradesh on their channel. It starts with two men standing on the right side of a Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle. We can observe that the seat of this bike was removed, and one of the men was holding a tool to open the bolts holding the fuel.
What happens next is that the other young man starts to poke around the front portion of the fuel tank. Following this, they both move to the left side of the motorcycle, and we can then see clearly that a snake was lodged between the fuel tank and the handlebar. The young man who was holding a short stick was seen trying to retrieve the snake out of this spot.
During the same time, the other man was trying to remove the fuel tank to make the space clearer for the other man to catch the snake. However, we can note that the brave young man, with just the help of the short stick, pinned the head of the snake against the bike's handlebar. He then immediately placed his bare hands over the head of this aggressive snake and quickly pulled it out.
More details of this incident
As per the reports, this particular Royal Enfield Classic 350 belongs to a young student from Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. This BA second-year student took out his bike like normal and was riding it for two hours. During this ride, he did not notice anything unusual, so he carried on riding it. However, at some point, his bike had a small technical error.
As a result of this, he took it to a service station to get it checked. This is exactly when the young man found out that there was a snake underneath the fuel tank of his motorcycle. What makes this even scarier is that the snake found in the bike is an Indian Russell's viper, which is an extremely venomous and aggressive snake.
Thankfully, this snake did not bite the biker during the ride, because if that had happened, the situation would have become extremely tense and could have resulted in the death of the student as well. When a Russell’s viper bites, its venom clots the blood and damages the entire nervous system.
Snake inside a helmet
Although snakes hiding in bikes and cars are extremely dangerous, it is not very uncommon during the rainy season. What, however, is uncommon is a snake hiding inside a helmet. Yes, you heard that right — a little while ago, we reported an incident where a snake was found inside the helmet of a man who went to a park. Thankfully, the snake was spotted on time and was taken out of the helmet.
