Python appears in Bangkok because there are many mice.

Specifically, the city animal security guards caught 4,612 snake pythons from the villagers last year. In particular, there were 4,519 pythons, Bangkok Coconuts reported.

The most heavily python areas are Yannawa (786 children), Hua Mark (627), and Bang Khunnon (608), according to Thairath.

Why is snake python or crawling into people's houses like that? Supakorn Pathumrattanakarn, a wildlife expert at DNP, says the answer is quite simple.

Snakes live in residential areas because there are mice to eat , Supakorn said. Poor waste disposal in Bangkok makes the city a lot of mice - animals that eat leftovers in the trash.

And the end result is more snake pythons appear. " Everywhere there are mice where there are snakes and pythons ," Supakorn said.

In addition, Supakorn believes there are more than 1 million mice in Bangkok. He said that from January 1, 2008, the city has captured 913 pythons and snakes.
