This is the moment a huge python was rescued after crawling into a well where it was unable to escape.<br /><br />Shocked residents noticed the snake struggling when they went to fetch water in Chonburi, eastern Thailand, on Tuesday (January 14) afternoon.<br /><br />They contacted a rescue foundation who arrived to fish the serpent from the bottom of the 32ft deep well.<br /><br />Snake handler Kanokporn Kosiyaphat said the 13ft long snake had probably crawled in for a drink of water. The snake then tried to slither back up the well wall but it was too high for it to successfully escape.<br /><br />He said: "When we arrived the snake was trying to climb up the wall but it appeared to be too exhausted to come up.<br /><br />"We presume that it had been trying relentlessly for several days before we received the call and went there."<br /><br />The rescuer team will check the python's health before they will release it back to the wild.
