Workers at a water pump station in Ahmednagar district, western India found a 10-feet-long python inside a large pipe on their campus.

The incident took place on July 6.

Akash Jadhav and his team from Wildlife Rescue Society drove to the water pump station to rescue the snake.

They explained that while it was fairly simple to draw the python out, capturing the huge reptile proved to be a challenge. The python continued resisting and swiping at the bag.

Akash Jadhav and his team eventually managed to capture it.

Akash said: “It was a full-grown snake, which perhaps weighed more than 35 kgs, and was very aggressive. We released it safely in the wild.”

Workers at a water pump station in Ahmednagar district saw a snake inside a huge pipe in their campus on July 6.

Akash Jadhav and his team from Wildlife Rescue Society drove to the water pump station to rescue the snake, which turned out to be a 10-feet-long adult python.

They first tried to shake the pipe to make the reptile come out. But they had to finally pull it out with a snake stick as it went deep inside the cape.

While it was fairly simple to draw the python out, capturing it proved to be a challenge. The aggressive snake kept swiping at the bag and resisted going in. But they managed to calm it down and net it after a few tries.
