Singapore - Whampoa river - python sighting

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I cant find anywhere more appropriate as the animals section is supposed to be about Thai animals.

I just left my luxury apartment to go to work for the day when I noticed a little bit of interest in something down in the Whampoa river bed. I assumed it was a dead body as they get dumped here sometimes by murderers so I went over to investigate.

Well to my disappointment, it wasnt a dead body, it was in fact a python around 6 foot long. This is only the second time I have seen a snake in the wild in Singapore, the first one being some kind of green tree snake I saw about 5 years ago, so this is a fairly rare occurence.

Well I hung around for 10 minutes or so. The police turned up, had a look and disappeared again. I imagine they called Singapore zoo, who I heard have a team who usually catch the snakes in such cases. Unfortunately I couldnt stay to see that as I was already late for work.

In thailand all that would be left is bones they are too well fed in singapore

Yeh, if it had been here it would of been on the dinner tables hours before you got there

particularly nan province - the locals would've even missed out!

I'm glad stroller is in Laos and not with slim in Singapore, I can imagine the Singapore papers now, "German in what appears to be a clowns outfit jumps in Whampoa river and eats live python, it is assumed that this was a publcity stunt that went sickingly wrong."

You call that a river?
