Huge 18ft python found in UK canal stuns kayaker who says it's the "most unusual thing" he's found
As I passed under a bridge on the stretch at Aylestone I saw a long slim shape just under the water.
"I went to investigate and prodded it with my paddle. I lifted part of it up and was shocked to see it was a snake.
"I dragged it towards the bank with my paddle. When I got out and dragged it on to the grass, it just kept coming and coming.
"I could not believe how long it was. I reckon it was about 18ft long.
"A woman passer-by called the RSPCA but no one answered the phone. I just had to leave it there.
"I have been kayaking along the canal for about three years now and it is the most unusual thing I have found.
