webfact Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Phuket python comes in from the rainEakkapop ThongtubTwo Kusondharm experts hold the python, sagging under the weight of its last meal.PHUKET: -- Bunsaner Kulwanich was more than a little alarmed at 10:30 this morning (July 15) this morning when she walked to the rear of her home in Talad Yai, Phuket Town and found a large python curled up there.A lump in its body suggested the python had eaten something pretty substantial and was looking for a place to sleep off the meal.Ms Bunsaner, 67, promptly called the Kusoldharm Rescue Foundation, which sent out its snake experts. They caught the four-metre constrictor and released it in the forest in Kathu.The experts theorised that the snake had arrived along a nearby klong, which was swollen from the recent rain.One of them, Poonsab Sae-ung, said the Foundation was receiving quite a few calls to catch snakes in recent days, because the heavy rain was flooding the reptiles’ habitats and they were looking for somewhere to stay until things dry out.He added that although the snakes are released in an area far from human habitation, the spreading of residential areas meant that sometimes the released snakes find their way back into people’s houses, and have to be caught all over again.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-python-comes-in-from-the-rain-47356.php-- Phuket News 2014-07-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falang07 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 perhaps a good business plan, too, to release them not so far so they can be caught all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oldsailor35 Posted July 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2014 I once had to clear out 18 carpet snakes (pythons) from my SE Queensland house roof. I took them to a nearby tip (plenty of rats to eat) but amazingly most of them found their way back home so i had to 'bag them up' again. I was told by a parks and wild life officer that if i did not take them more than 5 klm to release, they would once again come back. Did that, and they never came back, however Possums decided to camp in the roof and were making such a noise at night 'scurrying' around that i had to get another Carpet snake and put up there to get rid of them. That worked too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacChang Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I couldn't help staring at the height of these two men. The left guy obviously looks small. Then the right guy seems tall, but in reality he is shorter than the left guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
