As soon as he opened the bathroom door, the man was terrified to find a 4.3-meter-long giant python slithering out of the window.
The python is emerging from a small vent in the corner of the room and moving onto the balcony.
This incident was recorded at a residential house in Bangkok, Thailand. In the video, the enormous reptile can be seen squeezing out of a small vent in the corner of the room and making its way onto the balcony.
Narin, the person who captured this shocking scene, expressed his disbelief. He noted that the python had slithered down from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor of the apartment building. Firefighters were called to capture the animal, which was then pulled down to the street below for authorities to assess.
“I opened the bathroom door and saw a giant python. Thankfully, there was no one in the bathroom; otherwise, it could have attacked. The python slithered down from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor before the firefighters arrived to catch it,” Narin recounted.
Pythons are non-venomous and are primarily found in Asia, Africa, and Australia. Their diet is quite diverse, ranging from rats and cats to larger mammals such as deer, antelopes, and birds.
When attacking prey, they typically bite and then coil their bodies around it, constricting until the prey suffocates. Only after that do they swallow their meal whole. Thanks to their curved teeth and flexible jaw structure, pythons can ingest prey that is significantly larger than themselves. In fact, there have been cases where pythons have swallowed humans whole.
Bangkok is believed to have over a million pythons living in its sewers, canals, alleyways, and dense vegetation. Firefighters capture over 100,000 wild snakes each year in the city.
