The 26-foot-long reticulated python was found in a tourist area on Penang Island, hiding under a tree and laying eggs, The Guardian reported (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/11/worlds-largest-snake-a-python-estimated-at-8m-long-caught-in-malaysia).
The men captured the snake and took photos.*It then laid one egg and fell "quiet," dying shortly after, a civil defense official told the BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36014614). The cause was likely stress related to the capture.
