Kenyan Man Bites Python

Farm manager Ben Nyaumbe said he was working alone at a property near Malindi, on the Kenyan coast, when he stepped on something "spongy" and found a python was wrapping itself around his legs.

“The python, apparently hunting for goats, attempted to bind both my legs. But I struggled hard,” he told the Daily Nation.

The snake then coiled around his left arm.

“It waggled its ragged and scary tail on my mouth. I had to bite it as I struggled, one hand incapacitated,” he said.

Mr Nyaymbe said he grabbed onto a tree to stop the snake dragging him away. But after an hour he tired and let go of the tree.

He said the snake pulled him up into another tree but rested when it reached the branches.


“This gave me the opportunity to remove my phone from my pocket. I had not been able to do so all the time I struggled,” he said,

Mr Nyaumbe called his boss who went to the farm, accompanied by police.

He said police were reluctant to shoot the snake for fear of hitting him too.

With his boss and police offficers watching Mr Nyaumbe tore off part of his shirt, covered the python's head and tied a rope around it.

The man and reptile fell to the ground "with a thud" and the python was captured and taken to the
Falconry of Kenya sanctuary.

The snake escaped from the sanctuary the next day.

Mr Kina and one officer went to his help. It was difficult for the officer to shoot the snake “because he could have shot me as we were entangled”, he said.

Through their efforts, Mr Nyaumbe managed to tear part of his shirt and covered the python’s head to enable him tie a rope round its neck.

Mr Kina and the police officer pulled the snake down but could not make it as it coiled itself round a branch, meanwhile releasing its victim as it became exhausted.
“Finally we both came down, landing with a thud. The other officer came running and helped his colleague put the python in three sacks, hurled it onto a pick up and drove it to Falconry of Kenya, a birds and snake sanctuary in Malindi, 20 kilometres away.

But the snake was nowhere to be seen the following day. And Mr Nyaumbe still cannot tell how this happened.

“How does a snake escape from a closed room? Did they see the hole they claim the snake made on the sacks? How did it remove the rope from around its neck and my shirt which I had wrapped round its head?” Mr Nyaumbe asks.

No answers are forthcoming, however. Malindi police chief Peter Kattam, who spent two days with two pick-up trucks full of police officers hunting the run-away snake with no success, said: “I’m shocked. I don’t know what happened”.

There are several private snake firms in Malindi which buy pythons and other snake species at fortunes.

“What happened to the python which attacked me?” That is the question Nyaumbe is asking.
