On Saturday, two more pythons, measuring 10 and 12 feet, were rescued and handed over to the forest department by wildlife enthusiasts.
Environmental workers believe that the devastating floods in Teesta in October may have washed several pythons from nearby forests into populated areas. They cautioned that more snakes could still be present in the surrounding regions.
