An incident occurred in the dacha area of Bolak village, Almaty Region, where frightened residents called emergency services 112. The cause was a snake that crawled onto the territory of a private house. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MCHS), a report was received the day before that a snake was found on the territory of a private residential house located in the "Pitomnik" dacha area. Rescuers who arrived at the scene conducted reconnaissance and assessed the situation. Using a special "snake catcher" tool, they were able to safely capture the snake in a short time.
After the work was completed, the snake was taken outside the populated area and released into its natural habitat, where it no longer poses a danger to people.
"During the warm season, snakes become more active and may appear in household plots, outbuildings, and dacha areas. If you find a reptile, do not approach it, do not try to catch or destroy it yourself. Move to a safe distance, keep children and pets away from the dangerous area, and report the incident by calling 112," the MCHS warns.
Earlier, residents of Aktau filmed a large snake crawling in the city's 12th microdistrict, near the "Shanyrak" residential complex. The Kursiv editorial team concluded that the video shows a Pallas (four-striped) snake. This can be identified by its characteristic yellow-black spotted coloration.
Previously, "Kursiv" reported that a court in Atyrau considered an unusual administrative case. A local resident kept a large python at home without the necessary permits.
