A ball python being kept illegally was rescued by Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) inspectors on Friday from an HDB flat in south-eastern Singapore.
Acting on a tip-off, the inspectors waited an hour for the owner of the flat to return, and then walked out 45 minutes later with the tank containing the snake, which is a native of Africa.
