It truly did take a village to wrangle a giant snake that wormed its way into Pratamnak Hill neighborhood.

It took most of the village to wrestle this monster away.
It took most of the village to wrestle this monster away.

The five-meter-long python had been living in a field near a police box in Moo 1 village, but came out after an excavator upturned its home.

The reptile didn’t take kindly to having its living quarters overturned and tried to bite residents and animal-control officers who tried to capture it.

Finally, the excavator driver used the heavy machinery to hold down the reptile so it could be netted.

The snake soon found a new hone at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo.
