Rescuers catch a large python which had wrapped itself around a tree branch. The emergency services were called after the homeowner noticed the 7ft long snake when he was walking around his front yard. They used a large 'snare' tool - a lassoo on the end of a pole - to bring the reptile back down to earth. The resident, Chokchai Panumas, said: ''It could have dropped on my head. Yuk. I don't like snakes so I'm glad it's gone. I don't want them in my tree.''
