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.
