It seems this woman was waiting to see this beauty for two years...
We shared a story about a woman from the North West province who very calmly released a large python last week.
The video that was posted got a lot of attention and so the woman who caught the python and released it decided to give everyone a full story.
Her name is Sarah Ripley Forsyth on TikTok and she revealed that she has been hoping to see this python for two years.
Just as a reminder, here's the original video, courtesy of TikTok.

Sarah revealed that when she discovered the python outside after the World Cup semi-final, she was elated and they decided to leave it there.
But at around 2am in the morning, they discovered the python slithering in one of their guest rooms at the lodge.
The very large python felt at home and so Sarah decided to leave it to roam in the guest bedroom and address it later in the morning.
