Python Panic

A youth in Walallawita who was riding his motorcycle with a friend got the shock of his life when he realized that a 15-foot long python had encircled the moving motorcycle.

The python had apparently reached the bike when the rider stopped his motor cycle by the side of a road leading to a jungle area and resumed journey with a friend of his.

While riding back he had found some difficulty in placing his foot on the foot rest and then seen the python had encircled the bike. They had later chased away the reptile by spraying kerosene and petrol.

Dont be silly, how can someone get on a bike and not notice the snake that size wrapped around it? He must be blind, but that raises the question as to what he is doing riding a motorbike in the first place.

This Python needed a ride to go and visit the relatives down the road. smart one. snakes on many occasions have entered the vehicles and traveled but this is the first one to take a motorbike ride.
