Why do Indians carry snakes in baskets?

The asker is probably refering to Snake Charmers, who carry snakes in wicker baskets. This is to prevent it from escaping as well as allowing it to breathe freely. Snake Charmers are mostly from the backward class of NAGAS. They are experienced in catching poisonouos snakes and also treat snake bites effectively. After catching the snake they tactfuly remove the gland containing the venom. Snakes are always frighening reptiles and people are afraid of them. The Indian Government is now trying to entice Snake Charmers to cultivate snakes to extract venom instead of as a way of earning money by entertaining people with thrir snakes. A drop of snake venom is worth more than its weight in Gold. Snake venom is used for producing anti snake venom.


Why do snakes dance due to the music of snake charmer?

No, the snakes can not respond to the music because they are deaf! Snakes lack the outer ear that would enable them to hear the music. Instead, they are watching the person and the flute move back and forth. They consider the person and flute to be a threat and watch or respond to it like a predator.It may look like they dance...But they don't they actually hate it, while at the same time it confuses them and clears their head so that's why they don't go after people when it's on! ANSWER PART~ They move their body in the dancing formation because when their mad the music screws their thought up and they just "dance".Snakes will be able to sense sound, but no snake has ears. They follow an object that the "snake charmer" has with their heads. The snakes are almost always de- fanged, which is very painful and cruel for the animal and leads to a painful death.Snakes follow the movements of the Snake Charmers flutes. Which is why they always keep them moving in a fluent motion.

What snake has fangs that stick out the side?

The Gaboon viper has fangs that are the longest of any venomous snake, and they are large and hinged, allowing them to fold against the roof of its mouth when not in use. The fangs protrude from the front of the snake's mouth rather than from the side.


How do you draw out a snake from hiding?

I would suggest luring it out of the hole using live prey. The small rodent should be in a closed area where it can't get out but the snake can get in. Like a crab trap. Another way is by force. I strongly recommend against it. ( I have a big portion of my heart for animals. ) Use a tool and try to loop it around the neck. However if it is an emergency call an expert on reptiles, poison control or the ASPCA. Hope it helps =)!!!
