better than the Indian Cobra himself (or herself!).......
The
Creepy Times Issue #2:This is a rather long
article that I wrote for a magazine called ‘Change’ run by Godrej. But
it gives a very general idea of snakes so I thought that it would be a
good introduction to the article section.
The

snake. The snake pictured is the Checkered keelback. It get's its name
from the prominent spots always marking its body...

send me some amazing pictures of birds which we will run regularly as a
column called ‘Know your Birds!’
The
Creepy Times Issue #5: This week we have started the ‘wild
celebrity’ feature in the newsletter. These persons are actually still
not celebrities, but they do a great deal of good work - for which I
respect them very much.
The
Creepy Times Issue #6: [Extract]...."The snake in the picture is
known as the Saw Scaled Viper and is one of the four main venomous
snakes of India . The snake probably causes the maximum number of bites
in India too."
The Creepy Times Issue #7: Lately a lot of people have been asking
me questions regarding snake bites, antivenins, First Aid incase etc. I
have therefore included in this issue an article I wrote sometime ago
‘When a snake bites'. The article is rather long but that's because it
is very comprehensive.(Also featured 'Know your bird' by Nitin Naik)
The Creepy Times Issue #8:
Recent
news in Goa on the reptile front concerns an eleven foot King Cobra
caught near a school in Mollem. About a year earlier a fourteen foot
King Cobra was also trapped in Mollem. Both were found in peoples'
houses!

Russell's viper. The snake is one of the four deadly snakes that causes
many deaths in India and Goa . It is locally known as 'Ghonus' or 'Kusdo'.
The snake can be easily recognized by its distinct body pattern of
circular or diamond shaped brownish markings all along its yellow body.
