An adult Indian rock python which was found in a critical state with deep maggot infestation has now been completely cured and is ready to be released back in the wild. According to activist Sunish Subramanian, who is the founder of Plant and Animals Society (PAWSMumbai) and honorary wildlife warden stated, "It is a rare instance to find a snake species with maggot injuries. This particular three-and-half foot long Indian rock python had a very bad gash like injury in the mid-section which was also fully infested with maggots and flies hovering over it. It could have been fatal, had the python not been rescued by a citizen, Samim Khan, between Thane and Mulund region."
