The rescue team arrived at the scene with specialized equipment to capture the reptile. They removed the grill covering the drain and then used a loop to hook the python’s head and bring it up.

The snake, weighing 7kg and measuring a little more than three meters, was taken to the Nature and Wildlife Education Center to be released into the wild.
