KOTA BHARU, Mon. – A rare four-metre long python was caught by Civil Defence
personnel at Kampung Becah Keranji, Pasir Putih.
The 30-kg reticulated python, also known as the batik python because of its body
patterns, was later released back into the wild.
Civil Defence officer, Lt. Muda Karim Hussin said the villagers alerted the unit
after the snake caused a scare in the village on Sunday night.
He said it took about an hour for the personnel to capture the python.
‘When we arrived here, we saw the snake heading towards the thick bush. We
had to wait for an hour before our professionals managed to capture it,’ he added.

According to the professionals, the snake had to be captured as it was dangerous
and could swallow a goat or even a little child.
The villagers were relieved that the snake had been caught and that there were
no casualties or reports of property damage in the village.
Lt. Muda Karim advised local villagers who encounter such snakes not to try and
catch them on their own. They should instead call the professionals and monitor the
whereabouts of the snake while waiting for help to arrive.
