Ms Lim called the National Parks Board , which advised her to report if the snake emerged from the drain again. When a neighbour saw it again later that day at around 6pm, Ms Lim’s father-in-law contacted NParks.“We were all very scared and apprehensive,” she told The Straits Times. In response to ST queries, NParks’ group director of wildlife management How Choon Beng said on March 11 that a Sunda king cobra, approximately 2m long, was removed safely from Westwood Crescent and sent to NParks’ Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation for veterinary assessment. If found to be suitable for release, it will be freed in a forested area away from human dwellings.
In a video recording of the incident shared by Ms Lim, two NParks officers are seen attempting to remove the snake from the drain using snake tongs.
