A 10-feet-long python was recovered at Kathalbari union in Kurigram Sadar upazila on Friday morning.
Local people said that the python lay coiled around a tree of a man named Bhelong in Agomony Bazar area when it was discovered by some children who went near the tree to pluck vegetables at around 7:00am.
Villagers rushed to the spot as the children screamed, prompting the alarmed snake to climb upward the tree.
Villagers guessed that the snake might have reached there from the nearby Dharala River during the flood this monsoon.

Service staff of Kurigram Forest Department Ashraful Haque said that the snake would be released in a safe place.
