A three metre python has been caught in a rubber plantation in Chalong.
Staff members of the Chalong Municipality were notified from locals that a python had been found in a rubber plantation yesterday.
They tried to catch it using a rope lasso but the snake headed for a nearby tree. After a few attempts the team finally captured the elusive snake with nobody hurt in the process.
The python has now been released back into a natural habitat away from humans and towns.
