An uncommon discovery was spotted moving through a Ross Township neighborhood park.
Someone discovered an albino python in the yard near the ballpark on the Fourth of July.
Dave Long, a basketball coach, said he was pleased it wasn’t near the play area equipment.
“We would’ve had screams that would be heard in West View,” he said.
The municipality got rid of the python.
The snakes, which are usually just discovered in Asia and Africa, restrict their victim. They can be unsafe for little animals and kids.
It’s unclear how the python arrived or who owned.
“I just wonder why it’s there and who would’ve set it there in the first place. And obviously, it’s a question of whether he or she is an animal lover.”
Ross Township has a regulation that says it’s prohibited to own specific animals.
Constrictor snakes are on the list.
“I don’t like snakes,” said parent Umaru Mohammed with a worried laugh.
The python is now at an animal rescue shelter.
On the Ross Township Facebook page , authorities have a picture requesting anybody missing out on a snake or with info to call them.
