This is the terrifying moment a 12-foot-long python was caught after slithering inside a supermarket.<br /><br />Horrified checkout girls noticed the deadly reptile stretched out in front of the freezers at the 7-Eleven store yesterday afternoon, September 31.<br /><br />They screamed in terror and ran for cover before calling snake catchers who arrived at the store in the the Sii Racha area of Chonburi, Thailand. <br /><br />Volunteers arrived and snared the serpent using special equipment before stuffing it in a canvas bag to be released back into the wild.<br /><br />Shop assistant Nong Pikul, 22, said: ''I heard my friend scream so ran over to see what had happened. Then when I saw the snake I screamed and ran back.''<br /><br />The emergency services believe the serpent had been in the store for around 24 hours hiding behind the chilled food, which emits a warm breeze from the fridge fans.<br /><br />But it then slithered out into the open yesterday afternoon. Rescuers estimated the snake was around four metres long.
