The Burmese python was rescued by a neighbor at Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, on Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning (23/8) in Chandler’s Ford district of Hampshire, England, a 5.5-meter python trying to escape from its owner’s house and enter another house caused panic.
The Burmese python was caught by a neighbor who already knew the animal and returned it to its owner.
According to the Daily Echo news portal, police said they would not investigate the case as the incident was not a “policing issue”.
Jenny Warwick says she looked out of her window at 5:15 a.m. local time and saw a large yellow object on the roof of a house, but realized it was a snake but was trying to get in through the window.
“People passing by couldn’t believe what was happening,” says Warwick.
Linda Elmer, who recognized and caught the python, said she woke up at 7 am when her neighbors called the owner of the animal and knocked on his door.
“Everybody was in a panic,” recalls Elmer, a firefighter who once owned a snake.
“I managed to catch the snake – no one wanted to help. It was very difficult because it was a large animal. I managed to get around me down the street with this 5.5-metre python and knocked on the owner’s door.”
“She’s a beautiful animal and Burmese pythons are very docile. They’re not aggressive snakes by any means. I’ve had one before, so I was comfortable catching it,” says Elmer, conceding that the situation was “shocking for everyone.” .
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), a UK nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare, has previously advised snake owners to keep their animals well-controlled this summer. To escape.
