Python captured across mall

An Asian python measuring around three to four meters long was captured across a mall in the North Reclamation Area, Cebu City earlier this morning.

The snake caused a commotion among the customers of an eatery near the mall upon seeing the reptile resurface on a vacant lot where an excavation is ongoing for building construction.

Dario Searez, 43-years old, captured the snake. He told Cebu Daily News the snake sustained wounds after a truck ran over it at the excavation site.

The phyton is now at the custody of Cebu City Zoo.

“Diri lang ni siya hangtod nga maayo kay mas safety. Kun buhi-an ni sa wild muadto nis community unya mas delikado nga masakitan kay mahadlok man ang mga tawo,” said zoo manager Giovanni Romarate.
