Snake Lovers

One day I was on way to home. Suddenly I saw a snake came in front of my bike it was near about 10m ahead and one n half  meter long. I stopped my bike it was crossing road. After two or three days I again saw another snake when i was playing football. These are not two or three cases that i saw the snake but in a single month i saw 8 to 10 snakes at different places at my town. Then I thought that I should keep knowledge about snake in India. Then I had gone through many articles and information  available on internet. It will really help me and you people also to identify the type of snake and is it venomous or not?
       There are four types of venomous snakes in India they are as follow.
