What Happens To The Snake When You Call 999

"What happens to the snake when I call 999?"

I decided to write to the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Zoo to find out the answer.

Relevant information from their replies are provided here:

POLICE

"Generally, the police will respond to incident of snake when there is an immediate threat to life and property at public areas. For incident of snake found in private compound, the police will normally advise the complainant to call a pest control agency who can provide value-added services to discourage snakes presence. However, our officers will first assess the situation based on the degree of threat to life and property before they respond to incident of snake found in private compound. As it is impossible to identify all snakes, the officers are briefed on the common poisonous and non-poisonous snakes; python and cobra. All our officers have been briefed on how to use a snake catching device, and they are expected to handle any case of snake sighting when called upon. Every Police Division is equipped with the device and it is available for use to the officers. No special single Unit is tasked with catching snakes. All snakes are caught alive. Police hand over the live snakes to AVA or Zoo."

ZOO

"Snakes that are brought in by the public or the police are usually released to the wild. The practice and appropriate release location would be done in close partnership with the National Parks Board. Also, for certain snakes, we would absorb them in our collection for display and breeding purposes."

In my opinion


Leave snakes alone if you see them in the wild. They will usually slither away without much hesitation. Call the police or the zoo only if the snakes are too close for your safety (e.g. trapped in your house). Otherwise, I feel that it is unnecessary to disturb the snakes and also the authorities.

From what I heard, I believe the zoo actually kills the snakes they get and feed them to the other snakes.

This is what i heard recently. As i used to an animal keeper,my ex colleague/keeper there told me.
When police bought wild snake eg. retic python to the zoo. They will hold it at the quarantine area for a period of time. Every now and then, an indian guy will come and buy the snakes at 30 buck each. This snakes will then either sold to army camp for survivor training(kill and eat) or sold to neighbouring countries for their skin. So each time when we report a snake existence to the police, we are actually killing them or decreasing the population here. So please restraint from reporting to police unless it pose a threat to your house. Think we should have a reptile saviour society to rescue this snakes and relocate them to a forestry area instead of arresting them.

I rather have them away from singapore, they can be alive, but not in singapore other then the zoo, snakes are already a threat to the public as most citizen are afraid of them, and they might scare children.

Thats is selfish thinking. What about leaving the human out of singapore except snakes? They are afraid of human also!
