Bangkok (EFE).- Some twenty people finished a two-day seminar in Bangkok on Thursday to learn how to catch snakes, a useful skill in a country where about 60,000 of these reptiles are caught each year.
Students learned to use hooks, traps and their bare hands to catch and handle snakes in theory and practical classes at the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute Snake Farm, dedicated to disease research.
The objective of the seminar is for them to learn to treat snakes, including poisonous ones, and they tested different species, including a cobra.
They also received instruction on how to treat a person who has been bitten by a poisonous snake.
The heavy monsoon rains between June and October in the country cause snakes to appear in shops, offices or garages, kitchens, bathrooms or even bedrooms in many Thai homes, both in rural and urban areas.
Thailand has some 230 species of snakes, of which about thirty are venomous, such as the king cobra, the Malayan krait and Russell’s viper.
In Bangkok alone, the Fire Service receives between 150 and 200 calls a day during the rainy season related to the sighting of snakes, of which between 5 and 10 percent are usually poisonous.
About 70 percent of the snakes caught by firefighters are pythons, which can measure up to 20 feet.
