PHUKET: Members of the Phuket Raumjai Rescue Foundation yesterday found and caught a three-metre long python found in bushes in the central reservation of Pra Phuket Kaew Rd in Kathu.

 

The python was caught by rescue workers using their bare hands as they had no snake catching equipment on them at the time.

 

Phuket Raumjai Rescue Foundation team member Amonrat Thammaphan told The Phuket News today (Feb 13), “We found the python in the central reservation of Pra Phuket Kaew Rd at 9pm yesterday (Feb 12) when we were returning to our headquarters. The snake was over three-metres long and weighed about 20 kilograms.

I wonder how it got to the median strip without getting twatted by a pickup. Possibly out of a drain ?

One of these guys caught a large cobra by hand in a neighbors house a few months back. They generally know what they're doing.

Amazing " bare hands"  what type of hands do other people have?

Good people, call them and they come quickly. They catch and release into the wild, no charge but usual to give a nice tip.

Amazing comment.

I'd put my bare hands in thick leather gloves before considering to touch a snake.

I wonder how they could catch this serpent.

Probably threw the piece of material you can see in the picture over it's head.

The stuff I can do with my bare hands!   Alas, catching a snake is not one of them.
