Leave pythons alone and call for appropriate authorities

It is of utmost importance to leave animals like pythons alone.

NParks advises that we do not take it upon ourselves to poke at or catch them — catching them on your own terms is highly dangerous.

Instead, leave them to the appropriate authorities to deal with.

You can contact the following hotlines:

  • ACRES: +6597837782
  • NParks: 1800-476-1600

Trained professionals will then be dispatched to the location. You can find out more information on what to do here.

Perhaps this not-so-little creature will find a safe haven at the nearby Singapore Zoo in time to come.
