A massive 22ft-long python with TWO dogs inside its stomach was caught in a wasteland in Thailand.

The giant serpernt was spotted slithering across abandoned construction materials at a vacant lot in Sisaket province on July 9.

Animal handlers were called and they pulled it out of the elaborate nest it had built under a pile of old concrete posts.

Footage shows the team of volunteers dragging the enormous reptile with its bulging stomach into the open.

Rescuer Piyachat Charoensopha said: ‘It was one of the biggest snakes we have seen so far. The python might have been living in that wasteland for a while and lived on stray animals.'

Piyachat added that a villager was looking for their two missing pet dogs, which could be the creatures inside the snake's stomach.

He said: 'A villager was looking for two dogs. There were two dogs inside the snake so we believe it was the missing pets.'

The team easily found the serpent because of its size and the creature could barely move because of its huge meal. The large snake was taken to a rehabilitation facility to be under the care of vets.

Thailand is home to three species of python, one of which is the reticulated python considered to be the longest snake in the world. In 2021, a farmer in Chon Buri province came across another massive 20ft-long python that required eight rescuers to pull from the fields.
