A man was out on a stroll in an HDB estate in Jurong West on Sunday (Sept 13) night when he noticed that he had company — a python.
The reptile, estimated to be 2.5 metres long, was seen slithering out from a water canal and across the bridge where an HDB estate stood.
Facebook user Chia Ming Ho, who filmed the sighting, immediately alerted National Parks Board (NParks) for assistance, while he monitored the python’s movement and warned passers-by not to get close to the wild animal.
By the time the team dispatched by NParks arrived at the scene, it had taken refuge in the nearby bushes.
After locating the python, the men proceed to extract it from the bushes.
Holding its head in place with a pair of snake tongs, they took turns in a brief ‘tug-of-war’ with the reptile as they loosened the soil where it had burrowed into.
After a few minutes, they captured the snake and placed it in a black bag.
In his Facebook post yesterday (Sept 14), Chia commended the men who caught the python and helped keep the estate safe from potential danger.
