However, rather than succumbing to panic and screaming at the top of his lungs, this gentleman demonstrated the courage to actually bite the python in an act of self-defense.
From Fox News:
"I was so desperate that I even bit it, but it worked, and I was able to break free," Sarayuth Malachan, a security guard who lives in Thailand, told Viral Press. "It felt like I was going to die while fighting the python."
Malachan woke from his nap due to sharp pain around his ankle on August 21. He found a huge python wrapped from his foot to his knee with its teeth in his flesh.
The snake, identified as a reticulated python, is common throughout Southeast Asia and ranks as one of the world’s largest snakes, often eating humans, house pets and other snakes.
Malachan cried out for help, but when no one responded, he tried to wrestle himself free, which only caused the snake to squeeze tighter. He worried that because no one answered his calls for help, he might actually lose his leg.
With no other options and running out of time, Malachan bit the snake back.
The bite caused the snake to loosen its grip, and Malachan was able to finally reach down and grab the snake by the head. After dragging the snake outside, he was able to get help to take the snake to the nearby police station and file a report.
Good grief, can you imagine the gusto it took for this man to actually chomp down on a freaking snake?
This man is much braver than I could've ever been. If it were me, I would've wriggled free somehow and burned down my entire home.
