"Usually when snakes are pregnant with developed eggs they easily come under stress and abort or abandon their eggs to release pressure under captivity stress. This makes their body give up additional weight and they be able to move faster to escape," said Chinmay Joshi, Zoologist with RAWW.

The snake was released into the wild after a thorough medical examination, while the eggs were artificially incubated in a process that was jointly monitored with the forest department, said RAWW founder and honorary wildlife warden Pawan Sharma.
