Woman Finds 3-Foot Python in Cabinet

FORREST CITY, Ark. - Firefighters helped remove a three-foot python from a home after a woman collecting plastic bags for a food pantry found it while cleaning a cabinet.

Lula Sain called a neighbor for help, but "when he came in and saw it, he almost jumped out of his skin." Fire Capt. Jimmy Sandage eventually collected the non-venomous snake.

"Once I walked in and saw it, I knew it was a python. It had wrapped itself up into a ball, and you could barely see the head. It never gave me any problems," Sandage said.

The snake was a ball python, named for their defense mechanism: the reptiles roll themselves into a tight ball and tuck their head inside their coils. They are non-venomous and can typically live, with proper care, between 20 and 30 years.

Fire officials said the snake like escaped from a terrarium at another home in the neighborhood. The snake was given to the son of one of the firefighters to keep as a pet.

Some people are just lucky! All I ever find is escaped frog food!! A snake or two would be nice.

All I ever find are spiders and the occasional mouse dropping...
I bet that it is a Platty or a Clown or something!

I once got all perked up and excited because I found someone's escaped ball python in my apartment...perhaps the people that were there before me? no...one of mine escaped during the night

wait, so they know the snake escaped from somebody's home in the neighborhood, but they gave it a fireman's son? I'm confused..

Actually, they said it was likely to have escaped from a neighborhood house, but yeah, I thought pretty much the same thing.
Why didn't they ask the neighbors if they were missing a snake?

If I was that fireman's son, I'd be one happy little dude (and I'd be a different gender ) but if I was the one who lost the snake, I'd be a bit miffed.

Think its funny as hell we ask ourselves, why cant we be that lucky....For example, if it was mom that found it, she would of ran out of the house arms waving overhead, screaming her lungs out, and checking into a hotel...


If it was a neighbor obviously they don't care about it cause they would asked around if anyone found a snake or would have stepped up and claimed it.

Let's just hope the son is going to take proper care of it and isn't going to neglect it since it just fell into his lap.

Would like to know what kind of BP it is though. Do some research and see if you can get some contact info and get him to the site.
