A 10ft-long python was caught after it tried to eat a sleeping one-year-old baby in his room.<br /> <br />Kitiya Namyong, 35, heard her son, Nong, crying inside their bedroom in Samut Prakan, central Thailand, so she went to feed him on August 31.<br /> <br />The mother finished breastfeeding inside the mosquito net and put her son down before nodding off, when she felt something moving on the floor.<br /> <br />As the couple do not have any house pets, she was startled and sat up to look. <br /> <br />The shocked mother screamed for help when she saw the huge python staring back at her trying to climb their bed.<br /> <br />Kitiya believes the snake was trying to reach her son when he was still alone in the room, but the mosquito net made it hard for the reptile.<br /> <br />She said: "Luckily, I was with my son when the snake almost reached the bed. It could have really have hurt my baby if I was not there."<br /> <br />Kitiya's husband, Samran Nilkeaw, 40, rushed to the room when he heard his wife screaming for help.<br /> <br />The father ushered the snake out of the room away from his family before he attempted to catch it.<br /> <br />Samran said: "I heard my wife calling for help. I ran into the bedroom and tried my best to save my baby and my wife."<br /> <br />He pulled it by the tail and flung it away but it was too large to catch alone so he called the neighbours for help.<br /> <br />After almost an hour of struggling with the huge snake, they were finally able to put it into a sack.<br /> <br />The men freed the python into the woods away from their village the next morning.
