Rescuers catch a large python which had wrapped itself around a tree branch.

The emergency services were called after the homeowner noticed the 7-foot-long snake when he was walking around his front yard.

They used a large 'snare' tool to bring the reptile back down to the ground.

The resident, Chokchai Panumas, said: ''It could have dropped on my head. I don't like snakes so I'm glad it's gone.''
