A 10-feet-long python was rescued from a vegetable field in Sarankhola upazila of Bagerhat on Saturday.
The python weighing 12kg was rescued from the field in the sluice gate area adjacent to Gabtala Bazar.
The python got trapped in a net set around the land of a local trader named Delwar Hossain, said Md Sadik Mahmud, station officer of Sarankhola range of Sundarbans East Forest Department.
After being informed, members of Wild Team, a wildlife conservation organization, rescued the python and it was released in the Sarankhola range area of the forest later, he said.
The python might have crossed the Baleswar River and entered the locality in search of food, said the forest department officer.
