According to the New Straits Times, villagers were “shocked” by the discovery of the giant reptile.
The python was spotted coiled behind the house in dim lights around 9 p.m.
Nine crew members pose with the python.
The Noshin Civil Defense Force was called in and captured the python about 10 minutes later, despite the python attacking its crew several times.
