So, I decided to keep him. Name is Monty Python

Not that I know of.

US mail, send a letter. Post office will forward it if the neighbor set up forwarding to their new residence address.

To play devils advocate here, if someone 'lost' that snake and really was concerned, i would imagine they would be checking all the places that the OP already let know. And if it was the person who moved and they were worried, I'm sure they would have contacted the neighbors asking. I mean how do you 'lose' your snake and not notice it until after you have moved lol. I check on my gang every morning i wake up so i would know right away if one was missing.

Honestly, it is not the OPs responsibility to go out searching for the owner It is is the owners responsibility. On the flip side, the OP should not try and conceal the fact he found the snake which to me it sounds like he isnt as he posted on FB(im guessing the local reptile club there) and has let animal control and whatever other 'lost and found' there is for pets in his area.

Also to the OP, if someone claims it, make sure they show some kind of proof like a receipt from the breeder or contact info so you can call the breeder and actually ask the breeder is 'Joe' actually bought a snake from him as that retic does look young so I'm sure whoever sold it would remember. Any Joe can just say "Oh you found my lost retic. Im so glad, Can I have him back". When in reality, that isnt his real owner and the guy just saw you post a lost and found retic and he wants to claim it to keep or sell.

He looks great, enjoy your new snake. If the original owner wanted it. They should put forth some effort to find him. They Probably let him go after they realized they were over there head. Just give him a good home as I’m sure you will, and move on.

Looking at those new photos, my bf said it looks more like a sunfire motley than a platinum motley.
I don't know all the subtle differences in the morphs, so I don't know but thought I should mention it.

Listen I'm not an expert but this snake has the exact same break in the line on the head and horizontal dots. Ad was last updated just two weeks ago.

Not trying to be a pessimist but the chances of someone abandoning a 600 dollar snake when moving or losing it and not looking for it?

For picking up a mainland female reticulated python, one of the snakes with the highest level of care requirements there have been an awful lot of concerning basic knowledge questions. People on this forum have been kind but I'm assuming there would've been some questions outright buying a male to breed. Saying your neighbor found a 600 dollar snake though plays a little easier.
