they say its called EKE... its mixed color.. It's not uploading pls teach me how to... it's my first time of creating a thread
. Op, try to be specific. Python worshipping is a culture that has been practiced in most eastern towns since time immemorial.
Any one visiting the following towns should be ready see things like this.
Idemili north and south.
Isiekenesi( ideato north) in IMO state.
Orumba North( Amaokpala to be precise) don't know about other villages.
Umueleke( in Ehime mbano LGA in IMO state)
The pythons are harmless just like they said.
Killing it purposely or mistakenly attracts a huge penalty.

Last year one man on a motorcycle sighted this type of Python and what he did surprised me. He ordered the bike man and he stopped abruptly and within 5 secs he had coiled the 5ft python into his bag and the fled immediately.
I was coming behind them but what really amazed me was his cleverness in handling the live python and this happened in one of the idemili towns in Anambra.
I will say he's lucky that no other person saw them and the bike really aided their quick movement.

[size=20pt] The way some people act on Nairaland.
We kill pythons in Anambra state.
The only LGA that doesn't kill pythons are Idemili local government area.
We don't worship pythons in places like Nnewi,Ozubulu,Oba,Onitsha,Ichida,Igbo Ukwu, Ekwulobia, Ojoto , Obosi, Nkpor, Aguleri, Anam, Omoh,Oko, Ndikelionwu, Uke, awah, Adazi-enu, Adazi-ani, Adazi- nnukwu, Awka, Amansi, Akwuzu, Nteje, Otuocha, instead we kill them.
[/size]
Get your facts right.
Anambra State is very big.

Idemili people do not kill pythons but others do
People who were born in places like Lagos & they only visit Anambra State just once in every 20 years will start saying shiit about Anambra state.
We have up to 50 towns in Anambra state, out of the 50 towns, 9 towns worship pythons & they don't dare kill them pythons, They're the idemili people.

Point of correction bro, Oba is in idemili south, they don't kill pythons. Not even the smallest of it.
Orumba North as well don't kill pythons. Am sure of amaokpala ( thats where my hostel is)

I schooled in anambra state, one time I went jogging outside the gates with a group and there was a big snake peacefully lying on the side of the road. One of the guys carried it back to the school and the snake did nothing, am not sure what he did with it though.
Snake ??
You ought to go back to school to know the difference between snakes & pythons

Re: A Town In Anambra State Were Snakes Visits People...(pictured) by Nobody: 12:52pm On Jun 19, 2015
Yes, it does noes not harm anyone. I'm from anambra and it's usual to see the sacred python move about and entering people's homes in my village. You dare not kill it, if you do, you will have to give it a befitting burial- fit enough for a rich man-
interestingly, it hears the igbo language and would come if you ask it to.

We were told about this at Umunya Camp in Anambra state. In fact, I saw a dead one on my street on a rainy day and I took to my heels. I no fit shout. The fact you have to give the snake a befitting burial if you kill it sends shivers down my spine.

Hahahahaha!!!grin grin Dead one and you still dey run?
I know it's sort of a tradition in some parts including where I come from.
Never seen a live one thoughcheesy cheesy

My grandmother did that too, funny stuff.

The python (reptile) is an animal who like other snakes has a very poor ability to hear sounds. That's why it relies on the pit on top of its nose to detect changes in temperature in other to catch prey (they are cold-blooded and prey mostly on warm blooded animals).

Its trademark fork-like tongue is also used to taste the atmosphere for the scent of its prey.

Assuming it hears well, it doesn't understand human voices.

The python moved away after a few raps because it elected to. Its safer for it not to get injured and die from its injuries.

I just did small researched on pythons...

They don't attack HUMANS unless they are startled or provoked....

@OP! Even if you dont post pictures some of us wouldnt doubt you! Coz i know a place in IMO state where this culture is being practiced. If you eventual kill these snakes you'll have to give it a befitting burial just like normal Human being. So what you posted isnt weird. Just incase, it didnt work out, munch the pic then upload it one after the other via your native browser. Next time before you put up some sensitive topics try and be sure you have the photos in handdy! Nairaland is a place where if they dont see images whether Graphic or mild, they would say "Idontbelieveit" but the same hypocrites will still be the one to rebuke you when you take pictures of accident scene. They would say rather than take the victim to hospital or quench a Burning. Petrol tanker, you're busy taking pictures. If one dont take pictures, how would people get to hear the news or believe the story? Thats nairaland for you!! Happy posting!

Cos the way you're defending the python is alarminggringringrin

Pythons are like totem and most villages in Anambra and some other Igbo state villages don't kill or harm them. They don't harm us, they're non-vernomous and are environmental friendly.

We don't necessarily worship phytons, not like we perform some routine rituals or sacrifice to them. Why should we kill and cause harm to an innocent animal that is of no threat to us?.

Every town in igboland has an animal they don't kill.

Awka people don't harm or kill monkeys, reason being that monkeys saved them from an invading warriors during d olden days by running n jumping from far villages to Awka, the sight of the escapee and restless monkeys gave the men ominous signs of danger. They got themselves prepared n fortified and true to their expectations, they were attacked d next day But were able to repel n defeat the invaders.

This prompted d reverence of monkeys. They can eat ur banana, maize crop, But u don't kill them rather u chase them away.

Killing them warrants according them burial like humans.

Pythons are not revered in Awka anyway.

Different strokes for different folks

Just like people from Agulu dont kill crocodile.

I don't want village wahala and all those questions that might be asked about the dead snakes. We were told of Corp members who killed the snake and never gave them a befitting burial. The Corp members, according to what we were told, died mysteriously. Though I only saw, I never killed any. Besides, being Corper and in a strange land, one needs to be careful. I don't want to see or talk no evil grin grin

Am from idemili and we don't do burial for pythons.Though we don't kill it bt if u do either accidentally or otherwise, no one wl pressure you to do a burial Rather, the the elders wl ask u to abstain from the act and I mean those great grand papas.
Religion has changed all this special recognition and what have you abt pythons.
