PHUKET: -- A king cobra measuring three metres and weighing around seven kilograms was captured at a house in Bang Tao yesterday evening.

 

At 5pm yesterday (Mar 15), Mr Ai Manabut, who is well known in the area for catching snakes, was called to a property in Baan Bang Tao, Cherng Talay after a resident found a king cobra roaming outside his property.

 

It took Mr Ai 10 minutes to catch the snake which he said later was three metres long and 7kg in weight.

 

“It is still mating season for snakes and this is why there are more caught at this time of the year,” he said.
