The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, dialed 911 in panic as the massive reptile moved about her home. Police officers responded promptly and, with the assistance of animal control, captured the python without incident. According to authorities, the snake is believed to be a Burmese python, a non-venomous but powerful constrictor native to Southeast Asia. It is unclear how the python ended up in the woman’s kitchen, but it is suspected to have escaped from a nearby residence. The woman, who is in her late 80s, was visibly shaken but unhurt. She expressed gratitude to the police and animal control officers for their swift response and expressed relief that the situation had been resolved without harm. The python was transported to the city’s animal shelter, where it will be held until arrangements can be made for its proper care and rehabilitation. “We are fortunate that the woman was unharmed,” said Police Sergeant Michael Jones. “This highlights the importance of being aware of potential dangers in your surroundings, especially for our elderly population.” The incident has raised concerns about the presence of exotic pets in residential areas. Experts warn that irresponsible pet owners who release or abandon their animals pose a significant threat to both public safety and the local ecosystem. Authorities are urging residents to report any sightings of exotic pets or unusual wildlife to the appropriate authorities to prevent similar incidents in the future.
