The six-metre python weighing 90 kg was too laden to move, making it far easier for firemen to capture it in a Malaysian village. In fact, after swallowing a pregnant sheep, it couldn't move at all.
Firemen in the Malaysian village of Kampung Jabor, about 190km east of Kuala Lumpur, easily caught it after it was spotted on a road. Conservationists were yesterday still deciding whether to keep the 90kg snake in a zoo or release it back into the wild.
