Python Spotted Feeding on a Rat in Bukit Batok Like a Boss

Three things are certain in life: our imaginary future colleague Hao Zhi is going to be a virgin for the rest of his life, Pokemon GO 2 is going to be launched in 2091 and Bukit Batok is the new Yishun.

And of course we know a lot about Bukit Batok. It’s where our office is housed, and so far, we’ve seen three UFOs hovering above us, six Justin Biebers live performances at a bus stop and even Thanos asking if he could use the toilet.

But the real deal is in what happened in the last few months.

There’s a person who came all the way to Bukit Batok to steal bras, a taxi that reversed into a wall and broke the wall like it’s made of Volvo, several pipe bursts, a robbery, a cat killer and even a python spotted on a lamp post.

And it’s just the beginning because of this video: another python spotting.

This time, it’s just minding its own business, feeding on a rat and seemingly annoyed at the price of one of the items sold there (look at how it gives that “WTF? $7 so expensive? I can buy it cheaper at Taobao!”)

According to Stomp, someone called the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) but by the time they were there, the snake was gone.

The deputy chief executive officer of Acres said “there is nothing to be worried about.”

Wait, nothing to worried about when we see a python?

He added, “It is our native reticulated python which was sighted at a wet market…We believe the python was eating a rat when it was first sighted. The snake had gone back into some roof gap and could not be located.

“Rats and small birds do tend to use roofing areas as homes and the snake probably decided to stay there to find food…Areas like wet markets do tend to attract rats and this in turn will attract pythons which are great at controlling rat populations.”

They urged us not to be alarmed, and advised us not to provoke or handle the snake, and to call them at 9783-7782 should a python is spotted.

Well, at least to me, learning python (programming language) is scarier than seeing a python.

Remember to check back tomorrow on the next video of the day!
