Channel 11 has learned the snake was reunited with its owner, but it did startle some neighbors.

“I was freaked out last night,” Sue Sullivan told Channel 11. The snake was found in a yard two houses from hers.

“It freaked me out that I have a nine-pound dog in that house. I just don’t like that it was out and about.”

It’s unclear just how that Albino Burmese Python escaped from home and found its way into the yard. Sue thinks it probably slithered through some connecting backyards.

A few commenters on the McCandless Police Department Facebook page called the snake “cute” or “beautiful.” Sue says she’s OK seeing it just once.

“To each their own, like I said, but keep it in your house. Make sure,” Sue said.
