Rescuers remove eight-foot python discovered living under family shed
An eight-foot python was discovered living beneath a residential shed and subsequently captured by animal control. X-rays performed after the rescue revealed the contents of the snake's recent meal.
An eight-foot python was recently discovered residing under a family's shed, prompting a professional rescue operation. The snake, which had grown to a significant size, was safely removed from the property by animal control experts.
Following the capture, the python underwent medical examination, including X-rays, to assess its health and recent activity. The imaging revealed that the snake had recently consumed a substantial meal, which resulted in a noticeably distended belly. This physical state made the handling and transport of the animal more complex for the rescue team, who had to navigate around the python's size and the bulk of its recent prey.
While the report confirms the successful removal of the animal, it does not specify the exact location of the residence or the species of the prey found during the X-ray. The incident highlights the challenges of managing exotic animals that have either escaped or been released into residential environments.
