Marathi Name : नानेटी
Is a nonvenomous and totally harmless snake found across Asia. It is a typically nonaggressive snake that feeds on frogs and toads. When alarmed, it inflates its body causing the bright interscale colours to be exposed. Sometimes, the snake flattens and narrows its head to form a hood. This behaviour sometimes causes the species to be mistaken by laypersons for a baby cobra.
