"Hala ahas patayin na yan!"
"May kamandag yan patayin na yan!"
"Nakakamatay yan tagain niyo ulo"
"Cobra yan patayin niyo agad"
Yan ang lagi kong naririnig at nababalita na nangyayare sa mga munting ahas na ito, dahil na din sa takot ng mga tao sa ahas kaya hindi na sila nagiisip bago sila gumawa ng aksyon na patayin agad yung ahas, pero kung lahat tayo may kaalaman sa mga ahas na may venom at wala, pwedeng maiwasan yung mga pagpatay sa mga ahas, nakakatulong po sila sa mga pagbawas ng mga peste sa mga lugar natin tulad ng mga daga, around 81 thousand of peoples were killed every year by venomous snakes, pero kung tutuusin masmarami at doble doble pa ang napapatay ng mga tao na ahas every year, pati yung mga non venomous is nadadamay, kung malalaman natin ang venomous at non venomous, maiiwasan na ang pagpatay sa mga munting ahas na ito, teach to learn not teach to kill, nasa baba po ang other descriptions for brown rat snake.
The Brown Rat Snake (also known as the Philippine Rat Snake) is one of the friendly serpents that hunts for rats in the farms of Tanay. Of course it eats rats – that’s why it’s called a rat snake!
Rat snakes hunt by smell, using their tongue to pick up scents out of the air and off the ground. They can sense the trail that a rat has used and follow the trail back to the rat’s home. Or they will taste the air to smell a rat nest nest and then follow the scent to its dinner. They can also hunt by sight, moving through the underbrush and paying careful attention to small movements. No matter the method, the Reddish Rat Snake is very good at finding rodents.
The rat snake does not have deadly venom. Instead it kills its prey by wrapping its body around it and then squeezing the animal until its heart stops. It can only do this to very small animals, so there’s no reason to be afraid of them.
