Notably, Suresh earned popularity after he rescued snakes from human habitats and has reportedly rescued over 50,000 snakes and animals, according to Quint. He became the go-to name for people who found snakes in their homes and backyards
After the video went viral, many took to Twitter to wish him a speedy recovery.
Unfortunate but let this incident be a grave warning to other handlers that proper equipment is a necessity and not just extra hassle. Your life is worth much more, don't take it lightly.

This is not the first time a snake has bitten him. In earlier interviews, Suresh admitted that he has survived more than 300 venomous snake bites. In 2020, he was hospitalised after a viper bit him while he was trying to save it.
