You know, try to appeal to its better nature. We found 2 cobras at the back of our shop yesterday. I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck.....and goodbye everyone. Speaking a bit of Thai probably won't help, unless they can read lips. Try sign language. Snakes are deaf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its anything above a couple of meters they are far to strong and dangerous for anyone but experienced snake handlers to deal with. Would love to see some photos of it in daylight? Could I be wrong? Yes it might have been only 5 to 5 1/2 m. I think I said 6 inches in diameter and in this case I think it’s more likely if I’m wrong that it was 7 inches. I have a huge old tamarind tree that at one point it was stretched out along one of the branches and so I got a good measure of its size. It really was huge, so much so that I tried to forbid my housekeeper from going out to look at it again. My guess is that it would easily capture and squeeze to death and large animal such as a cow.

nickcar Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 We have never seen it in daylight, and since that night it seems to have disappeared. Although it is possible that the huge tree has hollow branches that it lives in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stocky Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 There was a reticulated python caught up in the netting of out neighbours chicken run. Local snake wranglers came and cut it free and took it away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagged Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Most likely there is more out there. Removing one, make space for another one. Python eat rodents as other snakes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunKenAP Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If you have a lady Russian as a neighbor, check the python for a white cat around 9-months old. She did not say the cat had to be alive for the 100,000 baht reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one outside our front door shading its head under our car the other week (close to the center in Bangkok) similar to that in your photo. It vanished as soon as we stepped outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
