Watch: Giant Python Spotted Floating on Flooded Road in Thailand

Social media sites are filled with pictures and scenes of the unrelenting rain in Thailand. In these pictures and scenes, one which caught the public’s attention was a large python floating on top of floodwaters. The image left everyone unsettled.

This giant snake, probably Reticulated Python, was bobbing around in the flood water in Southern Thailand,’ wrote one X user who shared the video.

Details of the Viral Python Video Footage captures a python with an apparently distended stomach floating in the floodwaters. According to reports, the snake swallowed a dog before it was filmed. The video has generated more than 11.5 million views on X and sparked reactions from viewers across the globe.

Watch:

Many said they fear snakes. Said one, “Snakes are not my thing.” Added another, “Nor mine. at all!

“Some are speculating on its condition: that it “looks dead and bloated. That’s why it won’t move from the spot.” Some just said, “That is a reticulated python upside down, meaning dead or in extreme stress,”.

Another commenter remarked: “My surprised look when I noticed he already swallowed something – hopefully not a human being.” What is a reticulated python?

The snake featured in the video is thought to be a reticulated python, which is one of the world’s largest snake species. The Atlanta Zoo claims that such pythons can reach over 20 feet in length and are easily identified by their “complex, diamond-shaped patterns” along their backs. In addition, they have rows of sharp, recurved teeth and are therefore efficient predators.

Effects of Flooding in Thailand Torrential rains that have pounded Thailand in recent times have led to catastrophic flooding. Downpours that have left at least 25 dead and displaced more than 30,000 have been confirmed by the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. Flooding has ravaged both humans and wildlife as this python’s disturbing trip through floodwaters testifies. This viral video is portrayed through the effects of extreme weather events, mostly unexpected and eerie, to viewers.
