10-feet-long Indian python to receive plastic surgery
cancel

Mumbai: A 10-feet-long Indian rock python is all set to undergo plastic surgery to recover from multiple wounds and fractures. If successful, the procedure will be a milestone in treating critically injured endangered wildlife.

The snake was rescued by the Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW) and the Forest Department in August. It has been under observation since then. A team of veterinarians and animal rescuers treated the reptile for three weeks. It has been in critical condition and responding to treatment.

Pawan Sharma, founder of RAWW and Honorary Wildlife Warden with the Maharashtra Forest department, said reconstructive plastic surgery will improve the medical and physical condition of the python. "The python has been critical and our teams are trying their best to treat it. Dr Rina Dev would be performing plastic surgery to reconstruct the damaged face of the python."

India has been putting up more efforts to save wildlife as the climate crisis damages the biodiversity of the region. Recently, a peacock with a fractured leg was rescued from Raj Bhavan. It received major surgery and is recovering.
