Six metre python released back to the Krabi forest

Officials of a local foundation in Krabi have released a 6 metre long python back into a forest this morning (Friday) after they captured it at a house in the Muang district the previous evening.

The snake, which weighs about 50 kilograms, was captured from a pile of wooden planks near the duck pen of a house in Tambon Tapprik. Officials of the Prachasantisuk Krabi Foundation took about an hour to extract the snake from the pile and another 10 minutes to get it inside a cage.

Rescue worker Amnouy Senla said, “It was the longest snake they had ever caught. It was released to Pa Nai Chong (Pa Kae) National Forest Reserve in Krabi.”
