Rare White Python Triggers Panic Among Residents In Chhatarpur; Forest Team Investigates Reptile's Origin

Foreign Species Python Found in Chhatarpur: A rare white python was spotted outside Radio Colony in Chhatarpur late Friday night, triggering panic and curiosity among residents. The large snake was safely rescued by a local snake rescuer, bringing relief to people in the area. The rescue operation took place around 11 pm after residents spotted the snake and contacted Sarpamitra Aakash Rathore. He reached the spot and carefully rescued the python, which was a challenging task given its large size and heavy body.

According to Rathore, the python's unusual white colour suggests that it could be an albino python. Unlike typical pythons, the snake had a distinct white appearance and a large, heavy body, making the rescue operation particularly challenging and requiring extra caution.
