the press

At 3 o'clock,the press came to our school to take pictures of snakes that visited our school. They disturbed us by standing before the snakes and we couldn't take clear photos because of them. We came in DINAMALAR, which is a Tamil newspaper. They took many, many photos, but they published only one or two photos.We really enjoyed the visit of snakes in our shool.

In the press

There were lots of people in the SN1 classroom to see the snakes and to know about the different types of snakes. We touched the python, ratle snake etc... and we saw a cobra. It was terrifying to see it and the press take photos of the snake and the forest department officer had also come to explain about snakes.

Venomous or not bites + first aid

How to recognize a venomous snake bite ?

If you see two big holes (see picture), it's a venomous snake bite.

What are the first aids in case of a venomous snake bite ?

1. First of all, call for emergency assistance. It is very crucial to get help quickly.
2. Immobilize the bitten area and be aware to keep it below the heart.
3. Wash the bite gently with soap and water.

If it's (really) impossible to get medical help within 30 minutes, then :

1. Wrap a bandage at about 5 to 10 cm above the snake bite to help to stop the poison's effect, but this should not stop the blood flow.
2. A suction device must be placed over the bite to suck up the snake's poison. This device can often be found in a first aid to snake bites box.

How to prevent accidents with snakes ?

You must leave snakes alone. Most accidents happen when people try to kill them or to get closer to them. Also, beware of tall grass. Be careful where you put your hands and your feet. Before picking up rocks or firewood, be aware not to be at a snake's striking distance. It is also recommended to wear thick leather boots and to remain in the hiking path. And, of course, be careful and alert when you climb rocks.
