Observing meticulously, Junior, aware that snakes breathe in reverse, heaved a sigh of relief and summoned his courage to slay the serpent in its evident distress.

He severed the tail first and subsequently decapitated the animal, then took it home.

Upon arrival, the community celebrated Junior's triumph against the snake that had scared farmers in the area for months.

This story evokes the account of a farmer who bravely wrestled a huge python that tried to eat his dog.

John Tego, who resides in Sowodadiem in the Central Region, said the massive snake had coiled around the dog, breaking its bones.

However, moved by his loyal dog's suffering, he attacked the 18-foot python with a machete and eventually subdued it.
