Spotted Yesterday and Captured Today!

Yesterday, one of our residents whilst taking an evening walk on the Jalan SS2/41 & Jalan SS2/43 field, spotted a somewhat huge phyton slithering across the walking path and it appeared to be moving towards one of the houses along SS2/41. The Civil Defence Unit was alerted but by the time they arrived the phyton had somehow disappeared from the residents' radar! So, the evening was one of unease! What's another phyton doing in our neighbourhood!

Today, residents readily snapped up sulphur powder to spread in their compound - it seems sulphur can deter snakes in your compound.

But we had plenty of luck this evening. At about 10.00 pm, the phyton was spotted along SS2/43 moving into the drains fronting the bungalows along the road. Residents acted quickly and the Civil Defence and Bomba Units were alerted. We finally captured the phyton! The video below tells the story; my apologies for the poor video quality
