This was the moment a trapped python was rescued after getting stuck for two hours in a drain. <br /><br />The snake tried to slither through the hole in the concrete slab yesterday (May 9) in Chonburi, Thailand. <br /><br />But the serpent became stuck mid-way through the narrow opening and was seen writhing around by residents. <br /><br />Rescue workers arrived and hacked away at the concrete before sliding the reticulated python back out of the blue plastic pipe at 6pm.<br /><br />Snake catcher Chokchai Pompam said: ''The python was very weak when he was freed. It had lost a lot of energy because it was stuck for a long time.''<br /><br />The snake was checked over by vets and after getting back its strength was released back into nearby jungle.
