Two African Pythons at Jessica the Hippo?!

This week on Snakes in the Hoed, Tim and Pep get called to the property of the world-famous Jessica the Hippo... but we didn't come there to see Jessica.

The owner had two Southern African Pythons on his property, and with his Jack Russells around, he wanted them safely removed.

The first python was relatively straightforward… although it did manage to give Tim a bite along the way.

The second python was a very different story. It had worked its way deep inside an old pipe. The snake could still move, but getting it back out was another matter. In the end, we had no choice but to break the pipe apart, piece by piece, to get the python out.

And once the snakes were safely rescued, we finally got the chance to meet the famous Jessica.
