HUGE python has eaten 20 of my cats, says Bangkok man

 

 

Snake catchers were called after a rag and bone man (scrap goods dealer) discovered a four meter long python at his depot in Soi Som-Ek off Tiwanon Road in Pak Kret, Bangkok yesterday evening. 

 

It took fifteen minutes before the 15 kilogram serpent was in custody.

 

The dealer said this was the second time pythons had caused him trouble. The first one was even bigger.

Between them they had eaten 20 of his pet cats. 

 

The snake catchers said that this one put up quite a fight and broke some of their equipment in the process. 

 

It would have been even heavier but it appeared not to have eaten for several days.

Not long ago while I was driving motorcycle a similar size snake was crossing the street. I had to stop. It was just a few hundred meters from my home, inside of the village. It is crazy to thing that these sizes of snakes are living right next to us. Completely unnoticed. ???????????? Not feeling so brave cutting high grass after that.

ive seen a few baby pythons around my neighbourhood, and a huge dead one in the canal at the end of my soi once.

 

The amount of money my cat is currently costing me in vet's bills, if I saw one that size today, then kitty 's gonna get thrown at it!

[RJRS1301]

well good they fed on the cats, instead of small children squeezed to death. Cannot think of a better use for "domestic:" cats.

The smell of cat pish in that place must be unbearable!

 

One cat is bad enough, but 20 !!!   ????

[LennyW]

20 cats???!!! Well done the Pythons!!

[steven100]

[A1Str8]

I like to wear them as a belt.

[sherwood]

Cats, yep the only good thing about them is that Pythons like eating them 5555

No, I do like cats but would never have one own me.

[sammieuk1]

The snake could be made into a couple of handbags or 20 cat litter trays as revenge ????

[Geoffggi]

Is this Python for hire............LOL

It's tempting. I really wanna say the slang name for a cat, and how it does own you, but, I won't. ????

The man should regard the python as his pet, and the cats as food.

Probably better at keeping the rats down as well.

They often live in the sewers/storm drains, and only come out at night.

[AhFarangJa]

Well done Python, can you please bring it to my house as there are about 10 feline pests to get rid of.

If you're cutting high grass, presumably you're armed with a device that can take on a snake.

why don't they eat the soi dogs?

Ran out of cats, I guess. Poor thing.

Cats are a safer meal since they practice social distancing

...any suggestions about the soi dogs?

[RichardColeman]

Whilst I can appreciate people not liking cats, for me it would be better is the snakes ate the soi dogs first. Cats might pooh in your garden, but unlikely to have a gang of cats attack your kid

Scrap merchants a.k.a. "Rag and bone men" or "Steptoe & Son," always have a problem with rats so depending on the size of his property, anyone within several hundred meters would probably be grateful he was usually "well stocked-up" with cats.

Why waste  time, go straight for the "kind"  owners.

I had a baby (python) on my chair 2 weeks ago.

And my elderly neighbour and I caught what might have been the mum back in January. Oh and 2 weeks before that, the cobra, but I was drunk that time which was a different experience.
