A nearly 6-foot Burmese Python was found slithering around the back of a fast food restaurant in Cincinnati.
"It was pretty impressive and I was a little surprise and curious who had lost their pet," said Ian Simon, who found the snake. "One of the local sheriffs stops in and taps me on the shoulder and asked if we have a box, I said ‘What for?' he said ‘We have a big snake out in the parking lot.'"
Lt. Mike Hartzler identified the snake as a python that was approximately 6 feet long.
"Unfortunately, what happens when people buy animals like this that are wild animals and they become too difficult to care of, so they turn them loose or they put them in the garbage, " Hartzler said.
The snake has been placed in temporary care with Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
