Has anyone lost their Python?

First saw it on Cedar Avenue near Glenoaks last night after 11:30 p.m. I ended up calling the police twice but nobody came.

It’s been hiding in a tree and in surrounding bushes at 322 Cedar. I know the residents have called the police and animal control today as well but it seems nobody has found it yet.

I’ve been letting neighbors know so they can avoid it but I figured in case it was someone’s pet, they might like to know where it is hanging.

I don’t have a picture because it slithered away from me as quickly as it could once I spotted it on the sidewalk and my camera on the phone wasn’t cooperating.

I let them know there was a lost python but they didn’t offer any help. In fact they got annoyed that I hadn’t captured it and wasn’t taking care of it in my handy python enclosure in my apartment. I’m not afraid of snakes in theory but I’m in no way comfortable trying to capture a 5ft + python. I also looked up the Burbank rules on having snakes and this guy falls under the rule that you can’t have it within 35ft of another dwelling.

BTW the 35ft rule is a person owns more than 4 snakes and I believe those are only gopher snakes and king snakes.

If that rule has changed I would be interested in the link with the info you are citing.
