A python that was almost 3 metres long was caught at Block 166 Bishan Street 13 on Wednesday morning. Residents spotted the python, which seemed to have had a meal as its belly was huge compared with other parts of the python, in a drain.
Shortly after the python was sighted, it slithered to the block at Bishan. Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) personnel eventually managed to catch the python, with help from the police. Acres confirmed that they received the call about the snake at 7:30am that morning, and the python was eventually caught at 8:40am.
The python will be safely relocated to a more suitable habitat. It was unknown what the python had for its meal shortly before it was caught.
