Several hospital staff members were needed to get the seven-foot python out of a ward – fortunately there were no patients inside at the time of the bizarre incident
Giant python spotted slithering around hospital ward
A massive seven-foot-long python as thick as a man’s arm was found slithering around a hospital ward.
Three members of staff tried to grab the huge snake. One even grabbed the python’s head with his bare hands. Meanwhile, a second went for its tail and a third held open a yellow, medical waste bin.
They tried to force the snake into the container but it was too large. Thankfully, there were no patients on the ward at the time. The snake entered a hospital in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
One local said: “It reminds me of a vacuum hose.” Another joked: “Maybe a patient transformed into the snake to escape the ward.”
“Imagine if this snake had entered the maternity ward, it’s so big,” added someone else. Pam remarked: “Snake: “Please doctor, I’m sick.”
Malaysia is home to many different species of snakes both venomous and non-venomous.
In 2016, a huge 26-foot python believed to be the world’s longest was caught in the South East Asian country. The massive 250kg reticulated python was found on a construction site of a new flyover in Paya Terubong, a popular tourist destination on the island of Penang.
A massive 23-foot python terrorising a village was finally caught after it ate a goat whole. The snake had been on the prowl for most of the week in Kubang Pasu where astonished farmers found it with a goat-sized lump in its stomach.
