A brave worker shows off his ‘jungle hack’ to overpower a python by biting its tail.<br /><br />Cambodian Rahjit Phan, 53, spotted the snake catches struggling to free the python after it crawled inside a car engine to keep warm in Samut Prakan, Thailand on October 9. <br /><br />The 10ft-long beast hid above the wheel chassis, coiled round the suspension then slithered up into the engine were it wrapped itself parts just below the alternator.<br /><br />Rescuers spent 90 minutes grappling with the stubborn reptile before Rahjit finished his shift at the nearby factory and walked over to help. <br /><br />He stunned the seasoned snake catchers by sinking his teeth into the deadly python’s scales - which incredibly caused it to loosen its grip.<br /><br />With four men pulling the python with all their strength, it eventually came loose after a lengthy three hour tug-of-war. <br /><br />Rahjit joked that biting python’s tails was an ‘’old jungle trick’’ he learned in his village in Cambodia before moving to neighbouring Thailand for work.<br /><br />He said: ''This is an old trick we learned in the jungle. If a snake has caught an animal then we can bite it to let the prey escape.''<br /><br />‘’Just bite the tail and bite it hard. That will make the snake weak. It will always work but nobody should try it unless they’re experienced.''<br /><br />‘’I’m happy that I could help. This was not a scary snake. I’ve seen some that are very big.’’
