“It’s been really hot recently. Even though I don’t like the chlorine, I just stopped for dip. Darn. I got spotted” – A statement given in privacy by Skinnydip, the reticulated python who was rescued from a private swimming pool. Thanks to the caller and the property’s pest control company who was understanding towards the rescue. They were unable to catch him, and we are not surprised because our rescue officer (James) had to get inside the pool in swimming trunks and locate the head. We have not gotten the approval to release the rescue officer in action yet ;P
Reticulated pythons are shy native non-venomous snakes, who love to live close to water bodies, and have adapted very well to the urban environment, hunting rodents in our canals network.Source: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150895732416523&set=a.223077136522.136042.22159071522&type=1
