- Municipal Protección Civil and Bomberos responded and used a herpetological hook, making several careful attempts to extract the reptile without injuries.
- Once secured, the specimen was placed under the custody of Parques y Vida Silvestre de Nuevo León for safekeeping.
- Authorities stress that pythons do not use venom but require trained handling due to their strength and size, and they advise the public to keep distance and call 911 or local Protección Civil.
- Media accounts differ on the snake’s length, with Excélsior reporting about two meters and El Heraldo describing several meters, as video of the rescue circulated on social media.
