A ball python reported missing over a week ago and the subject of a public alert in Victoria, B.C. has been found.
The reptile, which measures 53 inches in length, originally went missing on July 2 in the 200-block of Bay Street near the Galloping Goose Trail, but the disappearance of the scaly pet was not reported to Victoria Police until August 4.
The cold-blooded fugitive was spotted in the 1900 block of Richardson Street just before 6 p.m. Wednesday evening. Police said they located the animal curled up under a vehicle.
A patrol officer who is familiar with snakes took the reptile into custody without incident.
