Rare Golden King Cobra Captured and Released in Chonburi

[snoop1130]

 

A massive king cobra was captured around a Chonburi residential area yesterday, March 12th. The beast not only shocked the residents by its sheer size but also by its rare golden color.

 

A team of local snake handlers were notified of the potentially dangerous snake being seen relaxing near a house in the Khlong Kiew sub-district, Ban Bueng district, Chonburi. When they arrived at the house, they were greeted by the unfortunate homeowner, who trembling in fear pointed his finger at the reptile.

 

The beast was hiding from the sun under a heap of old corrugated sheets. 10 snake experts had to surround the pile and slowly removed the iron sheets only to find the golden serpent already alerted to their presence and coiled up in a striking position.

Crikey that's a big one!

I think my little old 1.5m snake grabber would be tossed over my shoulder and I would be calling the experts too.....

Beautiful snake. You couldn't pay me enough to catch them. Snake catchers got my respect and well wishes.

I live in a house with a big garden. I never go in it in case I meet even a little one.  I sleep badly, convinced there's a four metre python in my attic.  My snake phobia helped me on my new career as a writer; my short story about a real encounter was my first paid gig with The Pattaya Trader.

Well done to the snake catchers. I hope the snake is placed in some suitable habitat.
