Massive snake causes panic in the town of Cambridge
The city of Cambridge in England is in a state of panic because a 2.7m snake is on the loose.
According to Sky News, the Cambridgeshire Police tweeted: "In the early hours of this morning Officers attended the area of Lovell Rd Cambridge, Reports of a three-meter snake seen in the area." Police have located the owner, but not the Reticulated Python, confirmed to be 9ft long.
Police are searching for the reticulated python after it was spotted in the area. Reticulated pythons are the world's longest snakes and can grow up to 9.6m.
A fully grown reticulated python can open its jaw wide enough to swallow a human, but shoulders can be an issue.
The snake isn't venomous, and attacks on humans are rare. Reticulated pythons are native to southeast Asia.
