A reticulated python was spotted resting in a drain at Blk 832 Jurong West St 81, a residential estate near Western Catchment and Tengah forests.

The python drew gasps from passersby, one of whom who shared two video clips of it on Twitter.

"OMG, really huge" "Snake! Snaaaake!"

Reticulated pythons not uncommon in S'pore

Pythons are endemic to Singapore so it is not unusual to spot them.

Occasionally they are found in areas like drains, canals and parks, as pythons prey on rats and small birds.

They are not venomous, although like all large animals, they can be dangerous if provoked.

If you happen to encounter one, the best thing to do is to keep your distance and not startle it.

If it acts aggressive, you may want to call the ACRES wildlife rescue hotline for help at 9783 7782.

Earlier this year, another python was spotted at a wet market in Bukit Batok.
