Humberside Police are investigating the abandonment of four reticulated pythons discovered in the Lincolnshire countryside. The snakes, which are non-venomous and a native species of Southeast Asia, were found with assistance from exotic animal experts. One snake measured around 18ft and is still suspected to be on the loose. These pythons are typically kept as exotic pets and authorities believe they may have been abandoned as such. Police have advised the public not to approach any wild pythons and to report sightings to ensure safety.
Police are investigating after four large pythons were found abandoned in the Lincolnshire countryside, with one still suspected to be at large.
The pythons were captured with help from exotic animal experts, the force said. One, found near Manton, measured an estimated 18ft.
Reticulated pythons are the longest snake species on Earth and kill their prey through constriction, coiling around animals and squeezing them to death.
