Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Students and lecturers at Esigodini Agricultural College are now living in fear after a number of pythons were found on the college premises.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the college which is about 40 kilometres away from Bulawayo has recorded several python sightings around their premises.<\/p>\n

A few months ago one python was found in the pottery by one of the students who was carrying out their broiler project.<\/p>\n

The python had swallowed nine chicks and hid under the grass. Then another python was found in the fields hunting for birds.<\/p>\n

The vice-principal for Esigodini Agricultural College, Farai Gomo said there were many pythons because there was once a man who used to keep different types of snakes around the area. Said Gomo:<\/p>\n

When he left, he freed all the snakes and this is why some of the pythons have dominated the college.<\/p>\n

I once found a black mamba in my compound and another python was found along the fence at the principal\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

He advised residents and everyone in general not to walk during the night especially if they know that their environment is dominated by snakes.<\/p>\n

Gomo advised people not to walk at night especially in places where pythons and different types of snakes are dominant.<\/p>\n

He also said they should not provoke pythons because they are not violent snakes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, officials said officers from the Department of Parks and Wildlife Management had collected some of the pythons at the college.<\/p>\n
