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.
