A monk from Phrom Suthi Sakyaram Monastery in Chanthaburi province had a startling encounter with a giant king cobra chasing a python. On 17 October, he immediately alerted a local snake rescue team to assist in capturing the snakes.

 

The cobra, measuring 4 metres in length, stunned local villagers who had never seen such a large snake before. Some believed it to be a servant of the mythical serpent king.

 

The snake rescue team arrived at the scene and found the python first, curled up at the base of a longan tree near an ancient tamarind tree behind the monk's quarters. The python, about 2 metres long, was quickly captured and placed in a bag, while the search for the king cobra continued.

Not long after, the team spotted the cobra resting atop the tamarind tree. As they approached, the snake became aggressive, attempting to escape higher up the tree.

 

After a tense 4-hour standoff, the exhausted cobra was finally captured captured using two snares. Weighing nearly 10 kilograms, the female snake had minor injuries and was given water and cooling treatment to reduce stress before being secured in a plastic box for recovery.

Villagers who gathered at the scene were in awe of the massive cobra. Some speculated that another cobra, possibly the male, might be nearby, as king cobras are often found in pairs. The captured snakes will be released back into the wild, far from human habitation, reported Daily News.

I have come across many snakes here on the island, but the one time that I saw a big king cobra frightened the bejeezers out of me.

I made no attempt too remove that one.
