The python was taken to a facility to get care until she can be strong enough to be released.
KwaZulu-Natal snake rescuer Nick Evans rescued a 3.8-metre python that weighed 18.3kg in Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.The snake was spotted by community member Vukani, who had spotted the snake in the same spot five days in a row.
“We got right up close to it, more in admiration than anything else, when suddenly, it burst into action! It pretty much moved straight between us, as we both stepped out the way. I had kicked off my trusty slops, and my feet were now getting nailed by an abundance of thorns. Thankfully, my adrenaline was serving as a painkiller.
“It’s pretty hard holding onto a big python! Nick held on, as I went for the head. While it was trying to curl around some vegetation, I reached out and grabbed it. With both ends secured, the job was done,” he said.
