The forest rangers went to Mr. Thang’s house to inject anesthetic into the python and take it out of the cage.
Mr. Thang said, about 3 years ago, his son was given a python the size of a finger by a friend.
The animal has been raised by the family so far. However, the python is getting bigger and bigger, fearing that the animal will escape the cage and cause harm, so Mr. Thang contacted the ranger to deliver. “I want the python to be released back to its environment and breed other pythons,” Thang said.
