Big and Beautiful 27 Kilo Female Python Captured

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Where? These snakes aren't all that unusual, you can find them around the edges of the capital.

Burmese Python, if memory serves me correctly they have that distinctive V shape marking on their heads.
Edit to add: I always thought they were quite docile and made good pets.... bit like a giant version of a corn snake. Obviously, to be handled with due respect for their size.
Carpet Pythons, on the other hand, while smaller bodied and shorter in length are far more aggressive.

That seems to be the most obvious difference between it and the Reticulated Python which just has a few dark thin lines on its head. As far as I know most people are superstitious about messing around with these large snakes which harbor Neak Ta, so they won't harm them. Obviously there are plenty of wildlife traders who think differently though.
