On the morning of August 10, a python appeared in Shili Village, Mayangxi, Changtai District, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and local villagers called for help.

  After arriving at the scene, fire rescue personnel discovered that a python about 3 meters long was curled up in a chicken coop built by the villagers. The python's body was slightly swollen after eating the chicken.

  The 4 team members put on their protective equipment and entered the chicken coop in groups of two, carefully approaching the place where the snake was curled up. After determining the position of the snake's head, the two team members in front used the snake tool to quickly clamp the snake's head slowly. Moving out of the chicken coop slowly, the two team members picked up the snake body and the snake tail, and with the help of the villagers, quickly put it in a prepared bag and took it away from the scene.

  According to the villagers, the arrested "greedy pythons" ate 16 chickens from the villagers. At present, the firefighters have taken the boa constrictors to no man's land in accordance with the national wildlife protection regulations.
