Jakarta – Grandfather Subari’s (75) act of placing a large python on the pavement as a barrier for motorcyclists who dare to pass has been appreciated by the public. Subari admitted that this action had been carried out for a long time. Subari, when detikcom met on Saturday (18/10/2025) at his residence, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, explained that he often carried his snakes and put them down on the pavement. Besides stopping motorists, he also dried his hose. “Yes, it is often (placed on the pavement). Sometimes, when there is no traffic jam, it is dried in the sun. If there are traffic jams, it is blocked for a long time,” said Subari. Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENT Grandfather Subari and his snake in East Jakarta. (Fadil/detikcom) This man from Madura admitted that he had been with his beloved snake for 13 years. The snake, which he named ‘Petir’, started living with him when he was 8 months old. Subari admitted he kept snakes as a hobby. This hobby then awakened Subari’s love for Petir. In fact, he was so sad that he treated Petir like a child. “I’m called a charmer, huh. It’s just my hobby. We have to pay attention to snakes. We have to hold them slowly. It’s like holding a child, so that’s it, so he’s calm,” said Subari. Even though he was so close to Lightning, he still felt the bite and writhes of the python. The Lightning, he said, was aggressive when he was hungry. “I get bitten often, but it’s okay. Yes, it bleeds a lot like that. I’ve been entangled, snakes got into my hands once,” said Subari. He explained that Petir had to be fed two chickens twice a week. From this regular feeding, Petir grew to 40 kilograms because he was up to 4 meters tall.
