MIRI (Feb 7) The Civil Defence Force (APM) Miri workers captured a batik python determining one-metre-long at a house in Kampung Tudan Stage 2 here this afternoon.
APM Miri officer Frankie John Jawan said a group of 4 qualified snake handlers went to the scene after being alerted of the event at 12.01pm.
“Upon arrival at your house at 12.25pm, the group was notified by the 18-year-old female plaintiff that she found the batik python while she was cleaning up the cabinet in the kitchen area.
“Following that, she immediately called the emergency line to ask for help to catch the batik python,” he included.
Frankie said the snake handlers then carried out a check at the kitchen area and discovered a batik python hiding in among the cabinet drawers.
“They managed to capture the reptile the size of two adult fingers, measuring one metre long,” he included.
The operation ended at 12.30pm and the batik python was later on launched into its own environment.
