The Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) has caught a large python snake on a street in the capital city Male.

A video of the soldiers catching the snake went viral on social media on Sunday evening. It shows that:

  • The snake is about five feet long

  • The snake is cornered against a wall and its head is caught by the soldiers using a special tool

The MNDF has not yet released any information about it.

It is understood the snake is now in the custody of the army.

A python was found in Male last February as well. The snake was found in a timber warehouse.

The python is not a poisonous snake. However, they are a species known to grow enormous and known to kill by constriction and has a powerful bite.
