After ensuring that all his windows were tightly shut, Mr Muklis called the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) hotline. The Acres wildlife rescue team arrived about 20 minutes later, with a ladder in tow, he said.
“The python was at a height of about 3.5m, which made the rescue a bit tricky,” said Mr Kalaivanan Balakrishnan, co-CEO of Acres.
An Acres staff climbed up a ladder and removed the python, which was entangled between pipes of the air-conditioner compressor unit outside Mr Muklis’ flat.
By then, a crowd of about 50 curious onlookers had gathered around the block.
According to Mr Balakrishnan, the python will be microchipped before being re-released into the wild.
Mr Kamalakannan Raja, president of the Herpetological Society of Singapore, a reptile and amphibian interest group, said that despite such encounters, pythons are not to be feared.
“They are adapted to using our drain networks for movement and sometimes to obtain food. And by feeding on rats and other rodents, they offer us a natural form of pest control,” said Mr Raja.
Though pythons are non-venomous, the public should maintain a safe distance if they encounter these snakes, he added.
