When I was growing up in Jakarta, they found two enormous pythons in the culvert right next to the elementary school. They sacrificed a goat to lure them out, then when they were dated they just packed them up and took them to a local safari park. The smaller one was about 21 feet long, while the bigger one was 24 or 25. Just huge.

Thoar's a very calculated and mature response to something that could literally eat you children

They found kraits in culverts next to the kindergarten the next year. They just killed those.

On a side note, mosquitos can literally eat your children too. Pineapple too.
