The life and times of snake educator couple from Goa makes it to a new television show that wants viewers to see the reptile with empathy over fear

Hisstory: The day we rescued a python from drunks at a bar

Benhail Antao and Louise Remedios say that all the snake wants is food, shelter, and to be left alone

For most couples, dates typically happen at restaurants and coffee shops, but Benhail Antao, honorary wildlife warden with Goa’s Forest Department, and his wife Louise Remedios, a wedding planner, had a rather “wild” courtship. It began when she decided to accompany Antao on his animal rescue operations. “We met at an event, and when I found out that Ben rescues snakes and crocodiles, I was intrigued. My exposure [to animals] had been restricted to cats and dogs,” says Louise, who lives in Panaji with her husband. The duo added each other on social media and before long, they were speeding off into the darkness and rescuing agitated cobras and pythons caught in sticky situations.
