A man from Toulouse had a rather unpleasant encounter at the start of the week. In the middle of the night, he came face to face with a 1.20 m python. The reptile was entering through a window. The firefighters were able to capture him.
A 4-foot-long python snake perched on his toilet window. Bad encounter for this Toulouse resident in the middle of the night. The python escaped from a neighbor’s vivarium, descended two floors, along an air shaft, before finding an open window. The man and the reptile will remain face to face for many minutes, until the firefighters arrive.
30% of interventions
It is a team specializing in animal risk that captures snakes. Those called NACs, new pets, represent 30% of interventions. Our python boarded at the veterinary school. Its owner is identified. Sometimes for other animals it takes more than six months to find an adoptive home. Accidental escapades of new pets and their frightening discoveries are increasing, because it is very easy to obtain many reptiles, monitor lizards or spiders, on the internet or in pet stores.
