Teresa Sanchez who is a resident of Los Angeles California came home for her work on Tuesday August 5 when she saw a 20 foot python on top of the large dumpster inside the garage. Since the police do not engage in removing pythons from garages, another neighbor contacted Joesph Hart who is employed by SoCal Reptile Hunter to remove the python from the garage and take the animal to be examined by a veterinarian and rehabilitated. The woman who contacted Joesph believes that the snake was abandoned by its owner. Link is upi.com/2481754580060 via @upi

A snake that large is a very scary site, and if it curled around your leg, you might be in real trouble, so it was good it was removed, and if the owner can be found, the full force of the law should be thrown at him, hard.

I am in agreement with you about the full weight of the law be placed on the former owner of the snake for abandonment.

Hopefully the snake will have a new home now and be well looked after.
