‘Neighbourhood python’ finally goes too far

‘Neighbourhood python’ finally goes too far

A large reticulated python that has taken shelter in the same Kamphaeng Phet neighbourhood for the past three rainy seasons overstayed its welcome on Thursday by swallowing a homeowner’s cat.

The unidentified woman returned home to Tambon Nong Pling in Muang district after finishing work at the Kamphaeng Phet Hospital Co-op and found that her year-old cat had been eaten. 
She summoned authorities at 10.30pm, who spotted the snake under a pickup truck in her driveway. It was captured and hauled off to a forest to be released.
Learning that the same snake was an annual visitor to the neighbourhood, the authorities urged residents to check around their homes and keep doors and windows closed at night.
