The experienced reptile rescuer Tanaphon Butmee responded to the call.<br /><br />After locating the venomous reptile, onlookers were shocked when he grasped its neck without using any special snake-catching gear.<br /><br />The experienced handler was able to easily grab the cobra and calmly stayed on the sack where it was put after the rescue.<br /><br />Tanaphon reminded the locals to call the specialists immediately when they see wild animals.<br /><br />He said: "The wild snake may have entered the property looking for food as they always did. If anyone sees a snake raging into the house, they must call the rescuers."<br /><br />Tanaphon later took the wild animal to the national park office before releasing it back to the jungle.
