Residents found a 12-foot python hiding inside their home in the northeast Indian state of Assam, sending people into a panic until a snake-catcher arrived.
The incident took place on January 28 in a small city of Tezpur located in the state's Sonitpur district.
The python was found hiding under a raised stone platform, where the catcher was able to pull it out and show it off to the worried residents.
He then placed it in a cloth bag and took it away, later releasing it back into the forest some distance away from inhabited areas.
