On July 23, in Baiquan Village, Mingjiang Town, Ningming County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, a python weighing about 40 kilograms was caught by a rat trap on the head next to the fish pond on the farm and could not escape.

After the fire rescue personnel took personal protection, they removed the mousetrap after more than ten minutes of rescue.

Then fire rescue personnel contacted the local forestry department to release the python into the wild.
