"The snake was about two-feet (60cm) long, it was at the path between Geylang Road and Dakota MRT Station, beside the Geylang River," she said.

"My husband nearly stepped on the snake, and I was worried since I had a toddler with me but it was lucky that I was carrying him.

"We warned an old man who was present as well, but he didn't seem bothered, he just walked past it.

"Since we often go there at night to jog, I'm worried that the snake would bite us."
