Found in Ebenthal
African king python discovered on a walk
A walker was astonished on Saturday evening when his dog suddenly tracked down an exotic giant snake in Ebenthal (Carinthia). The man immediately alerted the local fire department.
Master and dog were out and about in the area of the Ebenthal waterfalls on Saturday evening when the four-legged friend discovered the unusual and, above all, large snake sunbathing in the grass. After an initial shock, the walker immediately alerted the Ebenthal volunteer fire department.
"I immediately recognized that it was an exotic giant snake and immediately sent a video to Helga Happ," says Jürgen Kilzer from the Ebenthal fire brigade, who, together with his comrades, had recently completed training in handling exotic reptiles at the Happ reptile zoo.
The expert confirmed the suspicion. "Correctly recognized. It's a royal python, which is native to Africa," explained Happ. The firefighters retrieved the snake and kept it in the fire station for a night before transferring the animal to the reptile zoo the next day.
