If you guessed that it's a Pyhton, you guessed right.

You need emergency pest control quick.

Then again it will likely keep the stray cats out of your yard.

Hey might even eat a stray rug rat now and then.

Pythons are not native to the USA. Its someone's pet that got away. And yeah, it can eat your cat or small dog

It's a beautiful animal, though -- I'm not a snake person, but that's a good-looking python. Hey, maybe Britney was supposed to have performed with it at the VMA the other night and it got away.

Someone will probably be looking for him. Have you checked the paper for lost snakes?

That is a pretty well kept pet. Someone is looking for him. He has probably been someones pet for 8 to 10 years. Great pictures, what a surprise to find him in your yard.

That is awesome! I had one of those about five years ago she got to be 11 feet long, she ate two large rats a week. I wish I had her back cause with the rat problem we have here I could use a sanke like that, I could double that sankes size in a year.

Then I fed this critter the gourmet rodent and it enjoyed the meal.
