A 74-year-old Sattahip woman was injured when a
3-meter-long python suspected of eating 15 of her chickens bit her as
she tried to scare it off.
Chaowara Yiransiri was hospitalized for a bite to the
arm that occurred as she took a large stick to the large snake in her
Moo 3 chicken farm. The reptile, with a big chicken-shaped bulge in its
belly, wasn’t moving, but it was ready to fight.
The grandmother said about 15 of her birds have gone
missing over the past few months. When she noticed yet another chicken
missing, she went looking and found the snake under an old mattress.
Six Sattahip Civil Defense Volunteers came to Chaowara’s rescue and,
after 20 minutes, were able to rustle up the snake. They set it free in
Khao Lame Poo Chao at Prince Chumphon Camp where it won’t bother anyone.
