The snake had some wounds which according to some people might have been caused by being washed downstream by the creek (most probable source). The snake was caught by holding the head and then putting it in a sack. Btw what's the usual procedure for processing large snakes captured i in various areas? what agency takes care of them?

as of now there's no proper procedure but you can have DENR to have a relocation. or ask the negros forest.

The real answer I got from the NEGROS FOREST is... they're "PESTS" daw and not endangered coz if it is, it's in their list. That's why they don't accept it as adoption. What a stupid answer, di bala? I told them it's more expensive in other countries. To hell with them, we love snakes even if it's worthless to them!

I hate to play the devils advocate here. But put them in your shoe's since the Negros Forest is a non profiting agency. now it could be pest for them since a lot of people keep giving them adoption so with the limited amount of space where shall they put them? How would they be able to feed them? Do they have the resource? But I completely agree the term shouldn't be "pest" since there in the line of work to promote the preservation of our indigenous animals. It is not endangered yet, but according to DENR Administrative Order No. 2004-15 the reticulated python is under the threatened species. "threatened" meaning due to the over collecting or hunting of this animal it faces of being an endangered specie. It's sad that they have staff which are unpleasant and say such ill informed words. solution: The possibilities we can do as BEE or as just an environmentalist per-say *Maybe this could be one of a project of BEE to relocate the specimen *Maybe work hand in hand with Negros Forest/DENR on the relocation of specimen *Be one of the breeding projects of BEE
the things i see in future projects of retics. there are some retics here which hypothetically having dark pigmentation (hypermelanistic) other lighter (a morph??). without breeding effort we will never prove out this morphs. some have different pattern but without proving them out, maybe some will have supers or some will be co dominant or maybe het for albinism.
