all right we'll send someone out keep an eye on the snake until we get there. at the. end of this and it's on taiwan comes 1st mission on this sunday morning rainy season has begun in thailand and that means snake season has as well. snake catchers almost always work in pandas because they never know what to expect attempting to catch one of the larger reptiles all alone would be too dangerous by cam and his colleagues sent off with 2 vehicles or they would be working at. bangkok's maze of streets makes it difficult for some time to find the address given by the court. looking for missing 114 this is p.d.

14 right there where is mr one just a side street. and i. think it's been more than 20 minutes since the call came in and the snake catchers have to turn around. after another 5 minutes the firefighters finally arrive at the right place the call is waiting impatiently in front of his house. armed with the 2 men enter the property the snake has already begun to retreat. sensing the danger the snake has fled to the roof of an adjacent building.

i'll call us when it comes down to you ok ok bye. laura whitman reached the snake at that height. by that one. maybe we could have caught it if we derived earlier. in the address wasn't clear so unfortunately it took a little longer. walks and now. they return to the station even if it didn't work out this morning so entire one cam has already caught dozens of snakes you can't exactly say how many he also doesn't know how many are in the cages stacked up behind the station and that's the result of less than 2 weeks' work. when he began training to become a firefighter one can never imagine what he'd end up doing.

getting the fact that i'd also have to catch snakes made me nervous. but i learned a lot very quickly like which snakes are causing this and which aren't i realize that they're not that scary. the next call comes in the woman on the phone is unable to give accurate details about the snake unfortunately this is not unusual explains the head of the fire station. so. it would help us if the collars could describe the snake tell us what it looked. like or even better what kind of snake it is. most of them are obviously in panic thinking only help there's a snake a snake in my house. it doesn't take some time and his colleague has long to find the right address this time.

the lady of the house is relieved that helpers arrived. first we have to find out exactly where the snake is hiding. we have to see it with our own eyes so that we know whether it's poisonous or not the housekeeper says she saw the snake here between these flower pots. describe the snake what color is it. got it call up when i went into the garden along the side of the house suddenly the snake snapped at me. luckily it missed my foot but only by a few centimeters so. some taiwan chum knows that snakes like to look for dry and sparse like this one especially during rainy season anyone who needs junk in the

garden shouldn't be surprised if they suddenly find an unwanted gassed. the firefighters take everything apart bit by bit. anyway. after a brief discussion the man made. yes .

i do. know. this is the so-called rat snake it's about a metre learn. it may not be poisonous it should be handled with care. if it does bite you should always have the untreated it has a very sharp teeth. and the. rat snakes are especially agile and quite aggressive the firefighters have to use the extreme can not to get bitten. ok good that tina every catch is different but that this one was fairly easy we knew whereabouts where the snake was hiding it also wasn't very big and a lot of the time we have to deal with pythons you know that's

a different caliber altogether for those we sometimes call in reinforcements to firefighters aren't enough. but i like. many people. before they get back to the station the next emergency call comes in uninvited visitor in the bedroom they better hurry. when. it's important to know the city shortcuts so you don't waste too much time in traffic jams we have to hurry all the time because there's always somebody waiting for help somewhere. where do they see the snake. not just making a monitor lizard. ok so this time we're not catching a snake but

a giant lizard let's go monitor lizards can grow up to 3 metres long they like to break into hen houses in catch young birds or eggs but the specimen hiding in the bedroom isn't that big apparently at least that's what the inhabitants of the house said. let's go have a look. ok we're going to be here. maybe under the sofa. or i already looked up there on the carpet. and i looked behind the air conditioner. ok. well you know we've looked everywhere here no success unfortunately. that we're.

one foot one foot. off each here we cannot fight anything. after returning to the fire station so lets the rat snake out of the back but the new home isn't much better. the cage hasn't been emptied for 14 days out in the wild most snakes can go without food for weeks so they aren't fed here every once in a while the nature conservation agency picks the snow example and sets them free in national parks. a few of the poisonous snakes are brought to this place bangkok's snake farm it's home to about 50 different species on the farm is very popular. locals as well as tourists one reason for that is the daily snake handling demonstration.

that you. might call. research on anti serums to save lions for example is also conducted here at the snake. sometimes tries to reassure us if you behave properly snakes are harmless he says they're also useful in keeping down the mouse and rat population so other pests. by title i would like to make sure people are aware of the following it's completely normal to see snakes during the rainy season they're very afraid of us humans if you don't want snakes in your garden or house you just have to make sure you don't

offer the snakes any place to hide. clear out your sheds or yards and you won't have a problem. without. soon he's off again to the next emergency not a fire but cold.
