Python Panic

22 July 2012 10:23 am

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.
