Cape Town – A 2.5 metre python was rescued in Inanda, Durban last week, shortly after it had devoured a whole adult chicken.
According to IOL, snake catcher Jason Arnold said he found the python in the goat cage at a local family home.
“They had gone to the little shed where their goats and chickens sleep and noticed the snake. They then got my number from somewhere and called me.

When he arrived, he found the snake relaxed in a corner, the report said.
“It had eaten one adult chicken, but despite my non-invasive handling method to secure it, it still regurgitated the chicken.
Arnold managed to rescue the snake, and it was released into a safe, wild environment away from people.
