A couple in Nakhon Nayok Province called rescuers after two pythons invaded their home and truck on August 23. One 20-inch snake was captured in the house; the second escaped into the truck's engine compartment despite multiple capture atte
On August 23, Sawang Ariya Nakhon Nayok rescue center received a report of snakes entering a vehicle and a residential home at house number 085/87 in Soi Maharat, opposite Nakhon Nayok City Municipality in Mueang District, Nakhon Nayok Province. Rescuers arrived to assist a couple, Mana, 64, and Chitra, 60, who were confronted by the reptiles. The first python, measuring 20 inches long, was found coiled around an iron cage in front of the bathroom. Rescuers used tongs to secure it and placed it in a rice sack.
The couple then led rescuers to their Isuzu pickup truck (Bangkok registration 2580), owned by the same person as the house. A second python of similar length had entered the engine compartment. When rescuers attempted to capture it using a flashlight and tongs, the snake escaped into the engine. After spraying insecticide multiple times without success, and with rain complicating the effort, rescuers instructed the owner to start the engine to force the snake out through heat. The owner was asked to call if the second snake was found. The first captured python will be released into the wild.
