29 Pythons Found in Drain Next to Mamak in Shah Alam

UPDATE: The Assistant Director of Operations of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Selangor, Ahmad Mukhlis Mukhtar, has revealed that there were actually 29 pythons in the drain, which included 28 baby pythons and 1 adult python!

Every once in a while, it becomes evident that wild animals are making their way into human-populated areas due to their habitats being destroyed for urbanisation. Here’s a scary reminder of this.

The Shah Alam Fire and Rescue Department recently took to its Facebook page to showcase a drain full of baby pythons in Shah Alam.

They received a call in regards to the snakes yesterday, August 7, and made their way to the location with 6 personnel. The drain is located right next to a mamak eatery in Seksyen 20.

“Upon arriving at the location and conducting a size-up (a process of gathering more information), it was found that there were indeed snakes in the drain,” they added.

Thankfully, the Bomba personnel managed to remove the snakes from the drain and will be setting them free in a safe area where they can thrive.
