Escaped python caught under parked car in Texas

• Cibolo Animal Services was called to a home in Cibolo, Texas, early Wednesday morning.
• The 10-foot-long snake was hiding under a parked car.
• A game warden and zoo took care of the snake until its owner could be found.

Animal services workers in Texas said they were called to a home after a huge python was seen under a parked car. This was an unusual call.

In a Facebook post, Cibolo Animal Services said that officers were called to a home in Cibolo early on Wednesday morning because a large snake was hiding under a car.

The department showed pictures of the officers holding the 10-foot-long snake.

In a follow-up post, Animal Services said that a Texas game warden and the Animal World and Snake Farm Zoo took care of the snake until the owner was found and the snake was returned to its family.

Earlier, according to wildlife officials, the python was about 18 feet long, weighed over 215 pounds, and measured 25 inches at her widest point.

According to National Geographic, researchers discovered hoof prints in her digestive system, indicating the python had recently consumed a white-tailed deer.

Last December, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida successfully captured the record-breaking snake by luring female pythons.

Using a GPS tracking device, Dion, a male “scout snake,” directed the team directly to the find.

The 18-foot snake was caught by the researchers and put in a bag to be sent to the lab, according to Live Science.
