M.S. Balasubramania, the snake-catcher and conservationist better known as ‘Snake‘ Shyam, displays a seven-feet-long python, reported to be slithering at an apartment near the Infosys campus in Mysore on Tuesday night. The greenish-black reptile, about four years old, weighed nearly 20 kilograms.
Shyam, who has been at it since 1982, handed over the prize catch to the Mysore zoo on Wednesday.

I think he can and should start a NGC in Kannada for adventurists and awareness creation among our people. He is truly world class.
what big deal! he’s just caught about 3 snakes average per day!
Poor Python. Now it’ll rot in the Zoo, instead of roaming around, finding a mate and dying free..
Beautiful species.They are so amazing in their kind.We must preserve them.
what was it doing in “chop shop” :-)
