A King Cobra snake with estimated length of 1.5 meter was caught at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Male Hostel last Thursday (Thursday 24 November 2011). The dangerous reptile was spotted by one of the student using the hostel bathroom around 5:30pm who later immediately alerted the fire and rescue department hotline 995. A team of firefighter from Rimba Fire Station in a fire engine arrived on the scene and found that the snake was hiding at one of the bathroom cubicle. It took the firefighter 5 minutes to catch the reptile using the snake catcher tool.
According to one of the UBD residential college committe (JASA) this is the biggest cobra been catch at UBD as before this a lot of similar incidents had occurred at the hostel complex due to the location of the hostel which is near to the forested area.
