BRADENTON - Police and wildlife rescue workers responded to a call Monday evening about a python discovered in a recently rented home in the 1600 block of 18th Avenue Drive West.
Matthew Hunt of the Nuisance Wildlife Relocation Team found the 4-foot snake beneath a water heater and safely removed it.
Earlier this month, Justin Matthews of Matthews Wildlife Rescue recovered a 13-foot python that had been seen in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart on State Road 64.
The pythons are most likely escaped pets. Wildlife rescuers discourage people from buying pythons and warn that it is illegal to release the non-native snakes in Florida.
