Ghatal subdivision is an administrative subdivision of Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal. The Ghatal subdivision area is about 953 sq km. It has 5 community development blocks including Ghatal, Chandrakona-I, Chandrakona-II, Daspur-I, Daspur-II and 5 municipalities including Ghatal, Chandrakona, Khirpai, Ramjibanpur, and Kharar. The region is mainly a riverine plain area and is influenced by rivers like the Shilabati and Rupnarayan. Ghatal is one of the most flood-prone regions of West Bengal. Flooding occurs almost every year, especially during the monsoon season (June-September). Especially in this time snake bite is a very common and fatal problem as the snakes lost their habitat during flood and often enter homes, roadside, and crop fields, increasing human-snake encounter.   Snake diversity indicates a high species richness in Ghatal subdivision area. There are many types of venomous and non-venomous snakes seen in this region. Some common venomous snakes are Indian Cobra, Russell’s viper, and Common Krait etc. Every year Russell’s viper caused about 82%, cobra caused 11% and common krait caused 2% of venomous bites are occurred and the fatality rate is about 20%.  Some of non-venomous including Rat Snake, Checkered Keelback, Bronzeback Tree snake etc. are also seen in these regions. These venomous and non-venomous snakes normally co-exist with human habitat and their surrounding area. They have different natures including habitat, habit, and body length and venom types. So, we can say that snakes are most diversified reptilian.
