A group of foreign workers caught a massive 15-foot python in Jalan Muara on Wednesday evening as the snake was eyeing a chicken hut.
They said the python was still hungry as it had not managed to consume its dinner.
"A hungry python is difficult to overcome. Pythons that are fully fed are much easier to catch," they said.
"A hungry python is more aggressive and active than one that has already eaten, which then just curls up to rest," they added.
The 15-foot monster is the 39th catch for the workers. They said that the python will be purchased by a Chinese man who will set the snake free in the jungle for good luck.
The workers also caught another five-foot long python later that night in Menglait.
