Six metre, duck-eating python caught at a Krabi gas station

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

Krabi rescue workers yesterday (June 28) caught a six metre long python at a petrol station after the reptile had eaten a duck.

 

Three rescue workers from Krabi Pitak Pracha Foundation, along with a plucky local, took about 20 minutes to catch the python which weighed 56 kilograms at a gas station in Thab Prik.

 

Head of snake catcher team of the Foundation, Tongchai Wongwiwat, says, “We were notified by staff members of the gas station that a big python had eaten a duck in a farm just behind the gas station.”

Breakfast snack perhaps?

Nothing wrong with that, I also enjoy duck from time to time (crispy please )

OK thats 55 kg of BBQ meat is exchange for one duck ! SHould be very eatable.

He was just looking for fuel.

Hoping to wash the duck meal down with a gallon of petrol?

 

Good lookin' specimen but certainly doesn't appear to be 6 meters long.

Measured using Thai metres which are not the same as the ones you are familiar with.
