webfact Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Siam Rath published a story that was certainly not taking the "P" - they were deadly serious about the lottery. Snakecatchers in Suphanburi, central Thailand, got a call from a man called Sirawat, deputy mayor of Huay Wang Thong in Muang district, that a phython had got in and started eating pigeons in the municipal offices roof. Picture: Siam Rath It took 30 minutes before the 3.35 meter long pigeon fancier was in custody. He wasn't coming without a fight, however. One brave lady staffer advanced and gave the python a tickle declaring it lovely and soft. Picture: Siam Rath The deputy mayor didn't dare but reckoned lots of pigeons had been consumed. The numbers of the length of the snake - 335 - were deemed to be the answer to the next lottery draw, on Tuesday 16th August. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-08-11 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Let a pile of them crawl around the pigeon infested area at Thrapae Gate in CM. Could be a tourist attraction. I don't know why they took the poor snake away. It was doing a service to rid the roof space of the vermin...in a natural and eco friendly carbon neutral bio degradable way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Looks like a Reticulated Python . I have my Snakes of Thailand book handy as my cat brought in a snake about 30 mins. ago. This one a bit smaller , about 3" it is a Flower Pot snake. The lady staffer gave a tickle and said it was lovely and soft . No commenet about the common Trouser Snake.

Tropposurfer Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Good job Mr or Mrs python. These harmless snakes (well as long as you aren't a much loved small child, small dog, or cat that is) do a great natural clean-up service for all sorts of vermin. I'm not sure about pythons, but in Oz black snakes predate on the much, much deadlier brown and taipan snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
