How an Indian Krait Snake can Kill you in your Sleep | BBC Earth

Not a krait way to go...

Okay, if I ever find myself spending a few nights over in India I'm so getting a portaledge cot and sleeping high off the floor for safety.

I think I'd put a warming plate out for it...hospitality is important.

They only harm people who aren't blessed and protected by Manasa.

We also killed this snakes 4-5 times when they came inside home. We know this snake very poisonous. If it bites chance of death is very high, we can’t get anti venom in nearby hospital.

So we Indian Villagers will kill snakes if they came inside home or nearby houses.

There are creatures more dangerous to sleeping humans than kraits......lizards crawling on roof 💀💀💀

I just saw this common krait Laying on Farm Side Pathway
It was on my way

Hey ishwar in sabhi se sabki raksha karna ❤❤❤

Very poor vocals

bro i can't believe they just filmed that person sleeping and didn't let them know the krait was about to get them. r.i.p. :'(

This kind of snake killed my dog recently 😢. It apparently strikes the pets face. I had no idea of the bite till i saw the dog drolling & shivering.
Vet explained what happened.

Such a snake was sleeping on a cow herders chest who was sleeping with the cattle.

Lot of People in Bihar, india were dies because of kraits bite but nowadays they are endangered species but still they found in agricultural land along with many different species of snakes

And you are filming it 😧😧😧😧😧😧

I'm here it came into my bedroom

I'm here after I found this exact snake with almost same size at my yard..

Man that's why whenever I go to my village... I wear shoes ... And check the bed before sleeping...

In my village ppl have died like this

My brother effected by this snake early in 2015 ..in ICU he spend 4 days with 20 dose of anti snake venom serum.
By God grace he is with us..

Silent killer. Dont sleep on floor. Use mosquito net to protect yourself from dangue, malaria and above all the silent killer.

Cut the branch of the tree that connects to the window. Just now I saw an agile krait that disappeared in the tree.

I just found one in my bathroom

Hmmm sounds like something else we know?

This krait is looking for a different kind of mouse LOL 😅😅

In our house today

In Bangladesh, 50% of the snake bitten deaths are done by the common krait.

These snakes are known as silent killer

So no one was gonna let homie know???🥴

the crazy thing is, kraits are generally absolute passiv and you can even pick them during the day and they do nothing. but they change their mood at night completely, and get aggressive as they hunt for prey. still very interesting and beautiful snakes.

It is the most venomous snake of all

Corona virus, not from bats , but from snakes.

You must have saved the man instead of shooting video

Who is here after RRR ??never heard of this snake until it showed up in the movie

Isn't there some type of repellent to keep the Kraits away? I would hate to get bitten & wake up dead!

Painless bite and undetectable...

This is fake because Indians don’t sleep at night , instead they are too busy multiplying themselves so they would have spotted the snake . This is not in India believe me

This snake came in our bed room in the month of august 2021. Rode on bed and tried to enter into blanket which was over my wife and daughter. My wife woke up and snake hide in room corner. I searched and killed it.

Casually killed 3 kraits in 4 days and then watched this video. Nice.

A krait just fell from the roof touching my back. Thank god It didn't fell on my lap. Who knows what would have happened to me

Literally I had one near my bead !!!
Sorry have to kill him.

I wanted a snake exactly like this to appear when I felt too much pain in my body to go on, it was beautiful to know that God heard my pray but wanted me to take it seriously as The universe showed me to make a clean decision eg it’s you or the snake - don’t be half hearted so that the poor snake gets the death

Love this snake 🐍

വലിയ ഉപകാരം. 😶

Very kind of the snake not to disturb you and wake you from sleep.

Caught one today inside my house. Didn't knew this one is so venomous

Sadly... I had to kill one today... It killed my hen and its chicks :(

Just saw this snake outside my home

If i was cameraman i would wake up the man and save his life.
And look at this dude ; he is busy in filming 🤷

Common Kraits are lot in Sri Lanka as well...Death in sleep is definitely a reality in rural areas, worst thing is since the bite is painless victim wont even realize it or even think something else....more dangerous than cobras or vipers in my view
